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!

Hi to everyone

You will have to be patient for your membership cards(I know you have been rushing to your mailbox everyday) as NashvilleJoe and I have been pretty busy lately. Please keep up with our activities via our blog:

Come on all you OBW(?)'s. Go ahead and post on here so we can all know about each other. I especially want pictures. Remember, if you are having troubles posting then just send your post to NashvilleJoe's e-mail and he'll post for you:

Keep on caching-Sharon (abbysgrammy)

OBW(?)s Meet & Eat Anywhere, Anytime!

This proves that OBW(?)s can and do get together at the drop of a hat (or phone call!). AG and NJ were on the way back from Maine and dropped by Crossville to the Cracker Barrel and were met by the Two Old Crows and the Hobos for a nice lunch! This happens fairly often! Post IS a little out of sequence but pictures just showed up!

Hi to everyone from Plano, TX

Joe and I and Bulli the Wonder Dog are down here in TX for me to have hip surgery this Monday afternoon. We have managed to get some caching done this week before seeing my Dr. 2 different days and having tests run at the hospital. We also went to an event today and enlisted 6 more OBW(?)'s. That gives us 85 members now. You'll notice that Joe has listed all our members with the city where they are located so that if anyone is visiting near another member, they can make contact and possibly get together. When Joe and I were up in Maine recently we contacted 3 of our members to meet for dinner and 2 came. That's what's fun about our group. On our way back from Maine we called up 2 couples to meet us for breakfast and we had another get-together. It can happen just any time and any where.
Hope more of you will write up something for the blog so we can all get to know each other. If you need help with it, write it up and send it to Joe and he'll post it for you:
nashvillejoe@bellsouth.net

Happy caching to everyone
