  Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Cache Adoption


  Hi Folks,

  I have accepted a Manufacturing Operations Manager position with a =
company in Forest Grove, Oregon, (Portland area) and will therefore soon =
be relocating there with my family.  I will be leaving June 14th and =
will only return once or twice to sell the house, etc. and then deal =
with the movers and get the family, dog, & cat on a plane to Oregon.

  I would like to keep as many of our caches here active as possible, =
however to do that, someone will have to adopt them.

  The caches I would like to see adopted are:

  Cactus Point Vista                        GC7D1D
  Crismon Tide                                GC80A4 (now that the hot =
weather is here, I can replace this one).
  Dance School Joke Stash              GC446C
  Fall Nymph #1                              GC9864
  Fall Nymph #2                              GC9B6A
  Fall Nymph #3                              GCGZ6Q
  Rescue Me's Hilly Hideout             GC35C6
  Rocket Men and Machines Cache  GCB95F       =20

  If anyone would kindly like to adopt these caches, please let me know.

  I just want to say thank you to everyone who has hidden the caches =
that we have found and contributed to the Guy's Family time that my boys =
and I have experienced while Geocaching.  Most of the caches that we =
have done together were done while my wife, (who works most Friday =
nights as a Labor and Delivery nurse) gets her rest on a Saturday.  It's =
provided a real bond for my boys and I and also mercifully removed us =
from the house Saturdays so that my wife could get some much needed =
rest.  She works 2 - 12 hour nights a week, and she works Friday nights =
so that our younger boys are only in daycare once per week.

  Caching has taken us to places we had no idea existed, and given us =
time to enjoy all the playground equipment on hundreds of parks and =
green areas in the Valley.  Just try to get through a microcache in a =
park with playground equipment and try to get my toddler out of there =
without some playtime.  Factor in diaper changes, getting them something =
to eat, bathroom breaks, pure meltdowns, getting out the baby backpack, =
loading Erik into it, forgetting sunscreen, unloading, applying, =
catching, loading, oops forgot GPS in SUV, hiking to cache, , unloading =
him, Trying to keep my toddler from taking every car he ever saw in a =
cache, trying to sign log while trying to catch him, loading up for =
return trip, halfway down realizing I still have the pen from the cache, =
hiking back up, going back, getting tired after a long day so dumping =
the extra water that I always carry for the hikes, dealing with 12 y.o. =
sarcasm as we hike back DOWN the hill - I can beat him up with the =
backpack most times, however years of playing football and wrestling =
have made it so any decent just KILLS my knees so he can beat me down,  =
getting back to car, getting backpack off back, getting toddler in =
safety seat, cussing because I can't fasten it, putting backpack in back =
of car, leaving GPS on the back bumper and driving off, returning 5 =
minutes later stunned that it is still there, driving home while all =
kids are asleep and looking in the rearview mirror and realize how much =
I love to spend this time with them...Marathon caching has never been an =
option for us...nor would we ever want it to be.

  So, in closing I can truthfully say that Arizona Geocaching has been =
an adventure for us, especially with an event that occurred that we =
never thought we would find.  So again, we thank you all.  Good luck to =
all of you and have fun out there caching.  We're looking forward to =
finding out how they do things in Oregon.

  Again, if anyone would like to adopt one of the above caches, please =
let me know.
