    Great to have you aboard. Looks like you are having a great time caching and look forward to meeting you on the trail or at an event soon. Haffy6

    The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
    suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
    friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

    Somehow I figured you might come back with some type of remark . . . I know you so well.

    Default Almost a Mainer?

    Hi...I now live in Bridgewater, New Jersey and plan on retirering late next spring from this area. I spent 20 years in the Air Force as a meteorologist before retiring to civilian life as a transportation supervisor and dispatcher for several companies. For the past seven years I've worked as a dispatcher for an ambulance service, also working as an EMT some nights and weekends. Until recently I volunteered on the local rescue squad.

    I decided to join the Maine Geocachers for the following reasons:
    Many, many years ago I was conceived at the Long Pond cabins in Livermore.
    My mother moved permanently from New Jersey to Livermore, Maine many years ago.
    I have spent all my vacations in Maine and the nearby Canadian provinces, both as a child, and since my retirement from the Air Force back in 1980.

    ...now on to the geocaching:
    I've done 75 caches in Maine, so far, and another 45 in the nearby provinces.
    I, by far, enjoy the long trek type of caches to spots that I'd never see otherwise. Almost always can be seen caching with the REAL Quoddy. Guess you can tell where one of my favorite places is.

    I'll be back in Maine May 19th through Memorial Day (poor timing for events), and am looking forward to continuing some more fun caching. Looking forward to meeting some Maine cachers on the trail.

    Welcome, Quoddy!

    I assume the dog on the pin is your geocaching buddy. I recently met another cacher who had his dog with him on the trail - he was training the dog to find caches! LOL!

    He's found more than I like to admit. Some cachers, that know me well, deduct those caches from my total.

    Smile Geojeepin in Maine

    I first found out about geocaching in PocketPC Magazine a couple of years ago. At that time, I did a lot of research about which GPS and which software I would need, but I never bought anything, and it went by the wayside. About a month ago, something hit me, and I told myself that I needed to do it, so here I am, GPS in hand and BeelineGPS on the Ipaq Pocket PC.

    I'm a Maine native. I spent some time away when in the military, but was drawn back. I'm an LSW, working full time for Maine Office of Child & Family Services. I'm also a full-time graduate student and single parent of two children, who also love to geocache. Besides massage therapy to destress, geocaching is very therapeutic and makes it easier to see the things I see each day and do the difficult work that I do. There's nothing better than climbing into the Jeep and taking off on a find.

    My hobbies include hiking, gardening, jeepin', knitting, reading, antiquin'/junkin', and my pocket pc. My dream would be for Jeep to create a Jeep Geocache Jamboree.

    Thanks to firefighterjake for telling me about this website. This is a great place!!!

    Welcome to the world of geocaching Jeepingirl2 . . . and welcome to the Maine geo-caching forum. There's a lot of good folks here so if you ever have any questions ask away.

    Incidentally, last year there was a contest sponsored by Jeep involving geo-caching with folks searching for white jeep travel bugs.
