 geocache_4                                                LostPecans - LAGC's FEATURED CACHER!

 

How long have you been geocaching?
It seems like forever!  Yep, it has been forever...or maybe since July 2007.
 
How did you choose your handle?
Handle?  We have a handle?  Are we a teapot, short and stout?  Oh, you mean our user name! It just seemed like a great name and we couldn't believe no one else already had it.
 
How did you find your first Geocache, and which one was it?
It wasn't easy!  We had a Palm PDA running TomTom with a Bluetooth GPS receiver module .  The GPS module was missing the seconds and there were no graphics.  We wandered around for about an hour before we found "On Target."  In retrospect, it is a really easy hide that we have seen so many times since.
 
Who usually goes with you when you go caching?
Gnomes, Smurfs and Elves.  They are all really helpful when it comes to finding those ground level caches, especially the elves with their magical powers and all!
 
How long will you work on puzzle caches before you give up?
We aren't too smart so it usually takes us forever and we have been known to out source them to other family members.
 
What town/areas have you most enjoyed caching in?
We really enjoyed caching in Philadelphia.  It was the first time we experienced caching with mountains and it made things a lot more challenging than we were used to.  It was also the first time we ever saw a bison tube or a nano.
 
Do you do paperless caching?
Always, well with the exception of when the crappy AT&T 3G  coverage lets us down.  We learned on vacation last year that from time to time you still have to rely on paper.
 
What kind of geocaching rig do you use?
A bright yellow FJ Cruiser with what has been called a deranged  looking smiley face on the back.   Oh wait!  You mean the equipment we use!  A TomTom One,  Garmin Oregon 450T and an Iphone for logging  field notes.
 
Why would you recommend anyone else to take up geocaching?
Definitely!  As a matter of fact we are trying to get the Greater New Orleans Corvette Club interested.  Stay tuned for more details!
 
Where are you originally from?
One Nutty Pecan grew up in Belle Chasse, and yes there were pecan trees!  The other Pecan grew up on the other side of the big bridge in Metairie.
 
States you have geocached?
Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Mississippi
 
What was your first event ever attended?
The World Wide Flash Mob III in Slidell.  We were still very new to the sport, so everyone with all the "gear" looked a little nutty to us.  We have no clue how it happened, but we have become one of you!!!
