Geocache Again

Today I was having lunch with the XYZ group from church at the park where there is a Geocache.  I was with my son and his family searching for this geocache just before Easter, so I had my eye on the place where this multiple location geocache begins.  Most people are completely unaware of it and paid it no attention.

However, as we were leaving, I saw two men with back packs looking intently at the coordinates printed on the first location.  I struck up a conversation with them. They are brothers, from Franklin, a town roughly 30 miles south of us.  They were very willing to talk geocache with me and said that I was the first person they had met who had talked to them about what they're doing.

They've been to about 100 sites now and planned to do about 6 here in Corry before they head home again.  Dick told me that he's set up two caches near his son's home and the only problem they've encountered with them is that the wildlife won't leave them alone.  One person wrote on his web info that a bear had demolished the area.  But he thinks it was really a racoon.  Isn't it interesting that animals think it's interesting to notice the things we do, just as we find their behavior interesting?

I think I enjoyed talking to the geocachers as much as I enjoyed the picnic dinner.  It was such fun to meet them.
