We started Geocaching in February of 2003.
Top had always wanted a Global Positioning System receiver, since he had used them in the Army (he is a retired Army 1st SGT). They finally went down in price enough for me to get him one for Christmas of 2002.
Our first several "finds" were easy urban ones. (The first one being "The Pen is Mightier Than The Sword" GC8A73 at Decker Lake, by Cache Crazy) We did quite a few that we had to drive a bit to get to, and some were long walks along the Jordan River Parkway. We spent a lot of time in the car and wandering around trying to follow Mr. Pointy, until we wised up and began looking at the MAPS, duh, before we went looking for the caches.
Then we decided to try some that were a bit more challenging = D
Our first "hikes" were to say the least, less than fun... I thought I would never want to do another after each one, but, we seem to be gluttons for punishment and kept going back for more.
At this point, I love hiking and would go every weekend if we could manage it =D
