1) When and how did you happen to start Geocaching?
2) How many finds do you have at the present time?
3) How many caches have you hidden?
4) What is your handle?
5) Location(s) you frequent?

Here are my answers:
1) My friend was talking to me one day and said "this may sound geeky"...at that instant, I was hooked. I officially start in July 2003.
2) 37 finds so far. Had to abort a few along the way.
3) I haven't hidden any yet...but I have ideas.
4) wahine_b
5) SF Bay Area and Southern California

    well...
    1) Two co-workers, would come into the dispatch office, and get on a web site, and go on and on about it. so finaly i asked one of the EMT's what the hell it was they were looking at. He started to explain to me the whole concept of caching, and showed me the web site. My first thought was "kooooool, im IN!"
    2) it has been a while, but i think i have about ..8-11 finds, im not sure.
    3) I've hidden around...6 or so.
    4) Little Chicken Nugget
    5) Solano and Contra Costa County

    1) I read an article in the TidBITS email newsletter about "Internet Guided Outdoor Recreation." I already had a GPS and not much previous use for it, so I went out and tried it within a week.
    2) Forty-one, counting all kinds.
    3) None yet, two planned.
    4) pjmorse
    5) Western Massachusetts and mid-coast Maine, but I travel a few times a year for freelance work and I try to grab a few caches wherever I go.

    1) A friend of mine told me about it and I got online...
    2) 25 caches found as of so far, but just started playing again after about a year break...
    3) I'm about to hide my first, I have put a lot of time and effort into making it interesting, a great challenge, and well worth finding, there is a ton of stuff in it, not just crap, and it is a 4/4 multi-cache...
    4)Consoul of Project UCK
    5)Southern Oregon and Oregon in general...

    1) I and my best friend/pardner read an article in the Feb 2003 issue of Discovery Magazine.
    2)We've logged 178 finds, but I'd say I was present for less than 100 of those.
    3)We've hidden 10 so far, one just this past weekend!
    4) Badtz, Juju, and sometimes Z2E
    5) Southern California

      1) When and how did you happen to start Geocaching?
      My brother in law took me last year on vacation at the beach and i was hooked..
      2) How many finds do you have at the present time?
      I have 50 and just started caching in april of this year, i don't think the amount of finds is important as the amount of fun that you have getting out there and caching. But once you've got a few it's like a drug, you want more, more, more..
      3) How many caches have you hidden? I've only hidden one, i told myself that once i got 30 finds then i think i could put out a pretty good cache so i only have one out there, you all want to find it? lol
      4) What is your handle? "Howie57"
      5) Location(s) you frequent? Mostly my home is in Delaware but i have some finds in Maryland and Pa.
