Hunting Season
The Ontario Geocaching Association writes: Tiz the season! No, not that season despite what the department stores look like. What we are talking about is HUNTING SEASON, and it started in the middle of October. As some of us have a habit of wearing camo-style clothing or at least dark colours, this is not always such a good idea. We share certain woodlots with some people that have a different definition of hunting than we do. It is highly recommend that if you are going to be out in the woods, even if it is just a little bit from the road, that wearing some bright coloured clothing is a safe idea. Trust us, you won't scare the cache away! We have heard stories of hunters being in areas that are do not actually allow hunting, and geocachers running into them while out for a casual walk.
Cacher of the Month - November 2006

- When did you start Geocaching? Your first cache?
- How did you find out about Geocaching?
My first cache was 1Q & 4J’s Maple Grove on April 30/05. It was on the way to the local puppy park Ozzie & I routinely used to visit.
park2 was a former supplier of mine from Alberta. He is a real techno weenie (check out his profile). He was in the process of marrying Trimble survey grade GPS with a cable/pipe locator I was selling for him and he dragged me along for an expedition out in the flatlands. I moved to a different company with similar products and they supplied me with my first GPS for, ahem…, working applications.
