Did I cache your name? 26 Feb. 2005
We got a secret; other people walking through the parks are just enjoying the view. We on the other hand know that just behind that rock is a geocache. However, when we go about our daily lives how do we know if that person who just walked by us is a geocacher? (I may regret putting that question in). Now all you have to do is attend the Meet and Greet at Doffer’s restaurant and you can put faces to names, and food to mouth.
