HGCS: What got you interested in caching?
MuddyWaterGirl: It had been quite a while since I’d seen anyone from high school and this time, when the Reunion invitation came, I decided it was time to go take a peek on the Classmates site first. That’s where I saw the term GeoCaching for the very first time. It was listed as a hobby for someone I had gone to school with. All I needed to hear was about the outdoors, and the little adventures, and just the tiniest hint of mystery and stealth and I was ready to go! I wrote to BW and he helped me decide on a name and made some helpful suggestions on GPS hardware and what to stock in the geomobile. I went online and to my disbelief, found out that there was a cache at the end of my street (Blue Bayou – GCH1DJ since 2003) where the road dead ends into a flood control ditch! All those years we had been wondering why people kept parking there and jogging into the woods for 10 minutes then out again … now I knew! They were cachers! Guys, I do apologize for all those times we called the police on you! I just had to go find this cache! I had yet to purchase anything but with help from my new caching buds, one in Dallas and one in California – I grabbed one son and 3 grandkids and headed out to find our first cache – no GPS...
