^This video may be a spoiler if you cache in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region.^

My long-time friend, Jimmy comes from a family of geocachers and he had been telling me about the hobby for a little while. Finally one day he was back in town and we decided it would be the day I would finally experience geocaching for the first time. We picked two caches which looked liked they could be fun in the area and headed up for an early afternoon of caching. On my way I decided to bring my camera, and that's what turned into this video. I start recording within 50 feet of the cache after a quick walk into a local park to get there and my geocaching series is born.

Geocaching came along when a high school friend introduced me to it in September 2008. I embraced it and started caching after work and then on lunch breaks until I had found most of the caches within a 15 minute radius of my job. I recall hearing about geocaching once and visited the website years ago, perhaps as early as 2002, but at that point I didn't know what a GPS was or how to do the hobby. I actually still don't own a GPS myself (yet), and have to thank my next door neighbor- another fellow geocacher- for letting me have hers on a long-term loan. We've cached together a few times as well and once went out very early in a morning to get our first FTF.
