OBW? Beginnings

As we have been attending Geocaching events over the last couple of years, AbbysGrammy noticed that we seemed to migrate to certain groups of fellow cachers. That started the wheels turning, (the wheels of progress sometimes turn slowly! [:D]) and she saw that a need existed for there to be a grouping within our widening community to recognize this relationship. Out of this friendship has grown a very loose non-organization affectionately known as the OBW(?)'s. This Older But Wiser(?) group have many things in common, but the two main ones are the advanced age (over 60) and an active interest in Geocaching.

The OBW with the ? is to indicate that not ALL of us have reached the pinnacle of that status but have met the other criteria for membership! Which brings us to the matter of membership and group rules! The first rule is, there are no rules, other than the criteria for membership! I'm sure that somewhere in there is a Catch22 (If you don't know what that means, you probably aren't qualified for membership!), but we aren't sure where it is!

Well, there is a matter of another little item - the OBW(?) Goal Statement! Summarized, it is that we should enjoy life and each other's company as friends whenever we possibly can! Since we are already a geographically dispersed group, you may have to enlist others who may be geographically closer to you to meet this goal!

Cheers and PartyOn!
