	I've been involved since September, when I got a Garmin. I don't have
hundreds under my belt like some cachers, but my numbers are respectable
for my corner of the world
(http://www.geocaching.com/profile/default.asp?A=73340).

	I've done a number of both urban and rural caches; both have their
advantages. Like you say, it truly helps hone one's ability to navigate
(or learn just how much you still need practice).

discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor
must preside at our assemblies.
