I was introduced to geocaching in Septmeber 2007 through Cub Scouts by a Charter Member (SkyLidar). I went out and purchased a Garmin eTrex Legend a few days later and found my first cache (Victory Lakes by the Stream - GC10A6F) on 30 September 2007. On 14 December 2024, I found my 30,000th cache (The Evil Imp- A Nyte Cache - GC3YJEG). It has been an incredible 17 plus years of geocaching across all 50 states (plus DC) and 31 countries. I look forward to many more geocaching adventures, but I will always remember my first.
Congratulations to CherokeeThree on his FTF!
