[Az-Geocaching] Personal Goals

[Jason Poulter]

Steven,

I don't have and goal or quest other than to have fun and get out and
see Arizona (and the rest of the world) in doing so through geocaching.

I like seeing and being new places that I have never been.. and love to
take photos along the way.
