FEATURED CACHERS - Team Cazayoux
 



How long have you been geocaching?
We have been geocaching since April, 2009.
 
How did you choose your handle?
Our handle is our last name.  We also go by, "Team Cazayoux". Discover us: 4KPGJE
 
How did you find your first Geocache, and which one was it?
Our first geocache was "Critter in the Woods" (GC1BFBF) by LATrailriders.  It was at a ballpark very near our house.  We printed out the details, plugged the coords into our GPSr and the hunt was on.
 
Who usually goes with you when you go caching?
About a third of our finds are with Team Cazayoux. Me (Kurt), my wife (Renee) and our three kids (Aubrie, Jordan and Zoe) the rest of the finds are done solo.  Occasionally I'll team up with fellow members of The Acadiana Geocachers, like Jerry & Margaret or Oddessy or CajunCuz or LATrailriders or af_juicy or Zsandmann or ….
 
How long will you work on puzzle caches before you give up?
I never really give up on puzzle caches.  I just put them on the back burner and eventually get around to finally solving them.  I have found that collaboration is the key to finding the really tough ones.
 
What town/areas have you most enjoyed caching in?
My favorite area to geocache in is the whole state of Arkansas.  That state is sick on geocaching.  Plus, it is very beautiful and the terrain is awesome (they have rocks!!!)
 
Do you do paperless caching?
Yes.  I have been paperless ever since I got the geocaching app on my iPhone.
 
What kind of geocaching rig do you use?
I do have a GPSr (Magellan 1500) but I don't use it very much.  I primarily use my iPhone.  The iphone is great for caching spur of the moment.  We don't make plans to go geocaching.  We just geocache wherever we find ourselves.  My iPhone (or any smartphone for that matter) is perfect for doing that type of geocaching.
 
Why would you recommend anyone else to take up geocaching?
There are many reasons to geocache.
Here are our top 5:
1- It is a very fun and inexpensive game that the kids (and adults) love to play.
2- It is an active game that gets you off the couch and out into the world.
3- It brings you to the amazing nooks and crannies of your community and state that you would have never known about.
4- It is an ADVENTURE !!!!
5- The incredible people you meet along the way, both fellow geocachers and non-cachers alike.
 
Where are you originally from?
I grew up in Breaux Bridge.  Spent all of my adult life in Lafayette.
 
States you have geocached?
Louisiana - Mississippi - Alabama - Georgia - Florida - Arkansas - Oklahoma - Texas - Nevada - California
We have also geocached in Mexico.
 
What was your first event ever attended?
The first event we attended was a geocaching meet and greet hosted by The Acadiana Geocachers.  There I found out that there were many geocaching freaks just like me.  We have become fairly active members of The Acadiana Geocachers and have even hosted an event of our own.  (You can find Acadiana Geocachers on Facebook)
 
How many caches have you found?
On January 4th we cached past our 1700th find.
 
Which type of cache container do you prefer over the rest?
We love those army green ammo cans.  They make the best treasure chests.  The kids are most interested those geocaches.

What was the most famous cache that you have found?
The most famous geocache that we have found would have to be the Groundspeak GPS Adventure Maze (GC26ERF).  The most famous in the state is of course View Carrie (GCE02C).  We can not forget to mention the big 3 that we have found: The Louisiana DeLorme Challenge (GCWXQW), The Louisiana Parish Challenge (GC1ZVQK), and the Louisiana State Park Geo Project (GC25HV7).
