[Az-Geocaching] introduction

[Regan Smith]

Steve when you go caching again would you like some company as I need to sit
again with a master...


Heather the feelings you have are very normal

the first cache we found took less than 3 minutes the second cache took
nearly 7 hours and 4 visits and I then knew what it meant to be as blind as
a deaf bat.. Bats do have poor eyesight but rely on their ears for the sonic
signal. so a deaf bat would be pretty bad off...

as you continue and even become addicted you will develop what I call
Satellite Karma, this is when you can walk right up to cache and other times
you find yourself in a farmers field..
