We've been doing it a couple of years. Been to a lot of cool places that we would have never known about otherwise. (T&J+AJT on GC.com...mine, the wife's, and our 3 kids first initials)

Here are a few pics from today's adventure.

Snapping a quick pic with my father-in-law in the passenger seat. First time cacher today!

I signed up a few weeks ago. The mid-atlantic area here on the East Coast is rich with caches, though that's not to say other parts of the states don't have their fair share. I got my fiancee into caching just this past weekend. For the previous couple weeks of doing it on my own, she thought it was a little weird. That was, until she found her first cache on Saturday. Sunday morning she asked, "Are we going to hit a couple caches today?"
And I got my brother and 2 co-workers hooked, too.
And yep, you guessed it, I'm "castle228" on geocaching.com.

Well I guess I'll 'fess up since ctimrun outed me in another thread
My husband thinks this is the ultimate in geekiness, but he has to admit that I've taken him to some really cool places that I only knew about because a geocache was hidden there. The jeep has really helped going after some of the tougher terrain ratings...I'm on a quest to fill in my D/T matrix, and looking for a 5/5!

By "outed" I meant that my husband thinks geocaching is only for geeks and he doesn't like me to publicly admit that I know anything about it (He says he thought he married the "cool chick" and found out that I'm a closet geek ). However, ctimrun already posted embarrassing pics in another thread of the lengths I'll go to to find a cache when I fell down a steep cliff and they had to use a tow rope to haul me back up because it was too steep to climb.

My geocaching name is "instantclogger", same as on this forum. My husband and I started caching last June. We love it and are so addicted!
I had run across the term "geocaching" after getting a gps receiver for my pocket pc and decided to look it up. That was all it took. I was hooked before we even found any. We just got our 300th find a couple weekends ago. We have hidden 20 and are about to hide one that would require some offroading to get to it.
