Engaged At My Cache

I just read a log on one of my caches which is by a beautiful waterfall reached after about a 20 minute hike. The gentleman proposed and she accepted at the cache site- Now how awesome is that!!!!

Christy and Wally at the Grand Canyon. Wow! That's close to their home!

Hello from Scottsdale, AZ

We are Lookin’Good, Wally & Christy, from Scottsdale, AZ, retired and glad we discovered geocaching. We are lucky because the Phoenix area has thousands of geocaches so we have lots of opportunity to get out. And, of course, the weather here makes it easy to cache year round, though we did have to start about 4:45am during the summer to be done before it got too toasty!

We started geocaching last February after reading an article about it and really enjoy the hunting aspect & seeing the clever ways folks hide their containers. We’ve attended numerous local events and found that is the best way to meet other cachers. It was at a flashmob event in Flagstaff, AZ last May where we met Team NAB, who were on their way to GeoWoodstock in CA. They were so gracious in answering questions and giving us tips and tricks and pointers. We found a cache together before heading our separate ways but not before being asked to join this “exclusive” group of cachers!

We love taking road trips and geocaching has given us another reason to get off the highways and see this great country of ours. We still have lots of exploring to do so perhaps we’ll meet some of you on the road. And should you be in the Phoenix area, please contact us – we’d love to meet you, show you around our favorite spots and do some cachin’ together. We’re lookin’ forward to meeting you!
