Dear Editor
Re: Off the couch and into the caves, New West Record, Jan. 16, page 1.
I thoroughly enjoyed your article on the front page of the Record. I am 89 years old and was introduced to the wonder pastime of geocaching last year by my son and daughter-in-law. To become very excited about something new at my age is really a blessing.
The family lives in Victoria. I never knew there were so many totem poles in Victoria with so many different stories behind the carvings (it took three days to follow all of the clues). I was introduced to the breakwater in the harbour where I found my first cache; also to a garden near the university; lovely walks way through the woods. Then in New Westminster I travelled along the waterfront, found some new laces and some "old" history. A wonderful experience!
I don't have the "equipment" needed to discover the geocaches, but I travel along with Laurie and Kathy every chance I get and so thoroughly enjoy every minute of it.
My friends are getting tired of hearing me talk about geocaching. Now I can show them your article. It's so exciting.
Happy geocaching!
Peggy Upton, New Westminster
