Caching Name: TerriBikes+
Caching Since:July 2012

It was Fall of 2008. I was a retired Geological Engineer who then was teaching music and dance at a grade/middle school. My daughter was away at college and my son was headed there next. My house was feeling 'lonely' already, and walking the dog at Castlewood was my only other distraction. While on the trails, I'd often passed young dirt bikers, and wondered if I could try to feel 'free' cycling again after a 35 year hiatus. So I purchased a hybrid bike and started to ride.
Fast forward a few (aging) years, and decided to trade in dirt for paved trails on a new bike. On one trail description, 'geocaching' was mentioned, so I looked it up. Then wondered why with a geo-background, and being an outdoor lover and bike rider again, I'd never heard it. I'd seen couple with a handheld unit of some kind step in and out of the woods while I was on a group ride once, and after some research decided geocaching was something I wanted to try.
Fast forward again to 2023, I was a few years retired and had long since found my first geocache in 2012.  As a member of SLAGA for nearly as long, I was happy to take on the role of reporter/journalist for SLAGA.   Cache on my friends, because I want to write about it!

Caching Since: November  2013

I had heard a little bit about geocaching, but had never had a chance to participate until Nov 2013 when I asked RobCyn if I could join them on a caching excursion. It was freezing cold, I was bundled up like an Eskimo and when I found my first cache I was immediately hooked. I am a St. Louis County Park Ranger, so I also managed to figure out how to make work and play mesh – I became the St. Louis County Geocache Liaison. Basically, it means I get to cache while working. And I have also taught other park rangers around the country about geocaching at the Park Ranger Institute in North Carolina. Cache on!!
