Me
It's all Team QWERTY's fault. If any of you are
getting frustrated with my crazy caches, you can pin it
on him! Actually, Team QWERTY has been a close friend
of mine since college and recently introduced me to the
sport. I think, at the time, he said something to the
effect of, 'look out cachers, I've created a monster'.
Perhaps he was right!
Getting my Feet Wet
At first, I was like most newbies, chasing around
like mad trying to clear out all of the caches in the
area and get my numbers up. But, it didn't take me long
to realize that I could do something more in this sport
and get even more pleasure from it. So I started with
a few simple key box caches placed at former music venues
that have since closed and now live only in infamy. They
garnered such a positive response that I decided to do
more along that vien and that began my group of 16 caches,
one for each song on the Tom Waits Real Gone album. And
that's when I realized I had caught the bug – squating
bare-footed in winter water trying to hang a final in
the dark on a nearly invisable metal nubbin. Well, it
just mushroomed from there and now a day doesn't go by
when I don't find myself reading the newspaper or looking
at my kids toys and thinking, "now that would make
a great cache!"
Creative Caching
I decided that any cache I put in the field would
be something unique to the area. From slight modifications
to simple micro containers to crazy puzzle caches with
unique finals, I want to bring a new approach to the sport
where you not only have fun finding the cache, but have
a good laugh when you get there and maybe learn something
along the way. I hope that you enjoy the caches I have
placed and that they have added to your enjoyment of the
sport even if, on occasion, you have to get you feet wet
too!
