June 2008 : Wildwilly

Wildwilly has been voted this month's Cacher of the Month. Lets hope he can keep his clothes on while he answers a few of our questions.

Q and A with Wildwilly

Q: Where do you call home?

A: Fenwick

Q: Where does the name Wildwilly come from?

A: I sometimes get a little over the top while out caching. When you cache with me you can expect things to get alittle "wild"

Q: When you are not caching, what do you do? (work and/or relax?)

A: When Im not caching I spend most of my free time training with Search and Rescue Niagara. Someone has to show thoseguys how it's done!

Q: How long have you been geocaching?

A: I've been caching just over two years.

Q: How did you find out about geocaching?

A: I read a blurb in the paper about geocaching and a CITO event that was going to be taking place in Shorthills Park.I showed up to see what it was all about and before the event was over I was hooked!

Q: Have you gotten anyone else involved in the sport?

A: I promote geocaching like it is a religin. I have encouraged at least 6-7 people to start caching. They are allregular's now.

Q: What gear do you use for caching?

A: GPS is Colorado 300 by Garmin. Shoes/boots are nothing but Merrell Footwear. If my clothing doesn't have Marmot onthe label....I will not wear it.

Q: Tell us some of your caching milestones. (First, most memorable etc.)

A: My favorite milestone was my 400th cache. I decided to make the hike in my birthday suit!

Q: What are your favourite caches?

A: My two favorite caches by far are GCKT8F "The air is thin up here" and GCG81R "High Above High Falls"

Q: What are your least favourite caches?

A: Any cache where muggles can sit and look out the window while eating dinner and see what you are doing!

Q: Any recent highlights you would like to share?

A: I recently placed my 100th hide.

Q: Any thoughts on caching you would like to share?

A: I wish the NPCA would be a bit softer on geocaching.There should be a public ban on all drive up caches!

Thanks to Wildwilly for taking time out between finding caches to share a few moments with all of us. Always looking forward to reading about your adventures.
