1) How did you get introduced to Geo Caching?
    -Wife saw an article on Fox10 about 'treasure hunting', and I =
thought it sounded extremely fun.  Ran out the door 10 minutes later =
with my GPS and first cache info.
2) How long have you been a Geo Cacher?
    - 8/23/02 will be one year
3) What is your present GPS'r?
    -Garmin GPS III (Mr. A) / GPS V (Mr. I)   =20
    a) What was your first GPS'r?
    -Magellan GPS Pioneer
    b) How many units have you owned?
    -2
    c) What unit(s) would you recommend to new cachers?
    -Garmin eTrex probably
4) How long did it take to locate your first cache?
    - ~15-20 min
5) What has been your most memorable cache?
    -Geocache by Dan Rich
    a) Why?
    -The scenery was spectacular
6) What has been your least favorite cache?
    -King Usery's Treasure
    a) Why?
    -First of all, because I didn't find it.  Second, because of =
circumstances in the cache area.  Weather started moving in, and wind =
from over the mountain almost blew me off my feet.  You couldn't see the =
clouds         until you were at the top.
7) What factors dictate which cache you go looking for?
    -Time/weather conditions/distance.  Depending on what I'm doing, =
I'll try to hit a number in the area I'm going.  There hasn't been a lot =
of time to jump across town/state to hit many more, but I'm working on   =
          changing that.
8) How many other Geo Cachers have you met while on a caching hunt?
    -None...yet
9) Has that meeting changed the way you cache?
    ?
10) When unable to locate a cache how long do you search?
    -depends.  20-30min has been the standard time frame.
    a) How many attempts before logging a no-find?
    -depends on how quickly I can go back for it. =20
    b) Do you contact the cache owner for help?
    -Yes.
    c) Do you ask other cachers for help?=3D20
    -Haven't yet, but that's a great idea.
11) When driving around are you tempted to go and look again at caches =
=3D
you have found before?
    -Yeah, and sometime I'll start doing that.  Have too many caches =
around that I need to visit before getting all nostalgic.  :)
12) What has been the best trinket in a cache?
    -a geocoin. =20
13) What has been the worst trinket in a cache?
    -AMMUNITION.  It simply doesn't belong in a cache, unless it is =
inert.
14) Do you leave a signature item?
    -in development
    a) Are you considering your own?
    -yes, but I haven't decided what yet.  My teammate and I have a =
great idea for a signature item, and believe it will be VERY well =
received by the entire AZ geocaching community.
    b) Who has the most notable?
    -I loved Chester, but I think the Wyle operatives have been my most =
memorable so far.
15) When in a populated area waiting to retrieve a cache what things do =
=3D
you do to pass the time?
    -try to inconspicously locate the cache without giving away my =
intentions or the cache location.
    a) While waiting what was the worst thing to have happen?
    -Felt like I've drawn too much attention to myself and felt =
uncomfortable with everyone taking a renewed interest in my presence.  =
:)
    b) What has been the best thing?
    -hasn't really been a 'best' thing.
16) Do you practice Cache in Trash out?
    -if I remember my backpack from the truck, absolutely.
17) Your own question for others?
    -Can't think of anything atm.

Brian (Mr. "A") of Team A.I.
I haven't lost my mind.  It's backed up on disk somewhere.
