All the great new people and friends that you will make and hopefully last a lifetime.

You deserve the bullet

Creating travel bug and geocoin missions

Friends I never would have met without this sport!

Pushing me to get off the couch!

Laughing at myself even if my nose is bleeding!

Geocoin collection

Making and hiding caches! Re-learning how to be a boyscout!

Friends that I never would have met anywhere else . . . true friends that you know you can count on whether it's easting pizza at the UHOP or bailing you out when your beater car dies in middle of the Benton/Bermuda Triangle

Scenic locations that you'll never find listed in any tourist brochures . . . but are incredibly beautiful

Being an inaugral member of ORCA . . . and getting to wear the foam rubber ORCA costume while driving to the event

Doing the Fitz Cache . . . and not being asked out even once

Meeting another geocacher in middle of the woods . . . and playing that little game where you try to find out if he/she is a geocacher or a muggle that just happens to be walking near the cache

Finding a hidden gem of place, designing a clever hide and then reading about folk's adventures in finding that cache . . . especially if someone like poor Upsalquitch ends up having his dog roll around in freshly spread cow manure

Finding that little knicknack that you know your wife would love (or you would love) . . . after checking out a half bazillion caches full of rocks, McToys and other trash

Being able to combine geocaching with camping . . . and four wheeling

That's great FFJ, but you forgot to leave something for Hiram to post...:D:p;)

Watching your Travel Bugs travel the world! (And seeing the pictures of them in exotic places!) :D:D

Enjoying the state with your children and grandchildren.

Ditto - to those who have said see beautiful places you would have never visited.

Receiving a canoe, caching trip for Mother's Day gift.

Learning that mud isn't always used for a facial but really cushions your fall.
