Re: HIGH SCORES - can you really find this many?

Agree it is about the places you go and "matching wits with the CO" and often learning something as well. I also enjoy the unexpected, sometimes quirky, encounters that geocaching throws up - be it with muggles, other cachers, animals or officialdom ... Sometimes the odd unenjoyable encounter pops ...

Re: Is Geocaching Australia worth pursuing?

Yes, definitely worth keeping it going. I have recently started to participate more in GCA as a hider and finder and also yesterday attended my second GCA event.

Re: Senate - Call for Nominations for 2015
