Palm Springs Recap

Had a GREAT Day in the Desert last weekend in the Palm Springs area. Didn't end up getting together with the K.N.O.C.K. group for night caching but Trizumi! stepped up and did some "darktime" finds with me (thanks!).

We did meet some fantastic people at the event: Wheeler Dealers, the host and hostess; Terra Girl & The Devious Max Power; EllisTrust as well as other very friendly Californians. It kinda felt like when I moved to Los Angeles from small town Tucson in that as soon as I got there it was a sigh of relief to find out there were people like me. In Arizona everyone is aloof and looks down on finding urban caches. You must be only interested in being a hard-core hiker / backwoodsman to be a REAL cacher (even though it's a metropolitan area?). It's gauche to talk about numbers. But in Cali, it's all good - at least from an Arizonan's point of view!

Looking forward to attending more Palm Springs events!
