[Az-Geocaching] Caching, Compulsion and geography

[Trisha Brasher]

I love it....someone as compulsive as me! :-))

I know LOTS of "useless" trivia...my special interest is geography. For example, I know most world countries AND their capitals, including many in Africa. 

On the other side of that, it is SAD and ridiculous how many people don't even know the very basics, like showing where Florida is on a map.

PS like my topic title?
