Funny, back in 2002, I would have considered guys like Scott and me to be 
"second generation" after the first wave of geocachers that were around 
before us.  We certainly weren't the first, but like every "generation", 
there's that group of obsessive cachers who seem to turn up all the time. 
Shadowace I'd put in the generation (or maybe two) after ours.  I suppose we 
could talk in terms of "geocaching era's" like we talk about geologic eras. 
Pre-MyBlueHeavenian in southern Arizona could be Snaptekian.  Then there'd be 
the Wily-Shadowace boundary cache explosion......
