Hello new potential friends!

I'm a relatively newly enlightened bi poly fellow (about 2 years in). It took until I met my wonderful wife and we began to explore openness to realize that we were both poly (how lucky is that!) She has a few lovers and I have had a few in the past that never quite fit perfectly (but taught me a great deal about my self), and many of which I'm still great friends with.

I'm hunting for co-adventurers. I've recently allowed geocaching to take over my life (and being a teacher on summer break has helped to feed this addiction). I would love to meet others interested in journeying into the great outdoors (even if your outdoors are 1000's of miles away from mine).

I'm also really interested in better understanding the poly community and where I might fit. I don't know why I never thought to look for polyamory.com, but boy howdy am I glad I found it.
 
Greetings Heteroflexing,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

I think you're the first geocacher I've ever met. You use GPS coordinates and clues to find hidden items, is that right?

Polyamory.com is a good site, there is a lot to learn here and many good people to meet. I'm usually around and following the intro board, so you can ping me on this thread whenever you want.

Glad you could join us!
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Notes:

There's a *lot* of good info in Golden Nuggets. Have a look!

Please read through the guidelines if you haven't already.

Note: You needn't read every reply to your posts, especially if someone posts in a disagreeable way. Given the size and scope of the site it's hard not to run into the occasional disagreeable person.

Welcome aboard!
 
Thank you for the warm welcome

Kevin T!

You make a fantastic official greeter. I am happy to be the first person you met who is a geocacher. You are correct about what we do. It''s wonderful to go to discover something new every single day. Geocaching has brought me to many many places that I never new existed and put an exclamation point on the trip every time I travel.

I will be sure to check out all the boards, especially the Golden Nuggets.

Thanks for the greeting!

Mmmm, nice tasty kudos, :eek:.
 
I freaking love geocaching!
 
Heh, alright, Heteroflexing is the second geocacher I've met.

Are you playing Ingress? Someone was just telling me about this.
 
Thank you for alerting me to this geocaching, I'm going to investigate the situation down here (NZ).

I played ingress for about a week, but its really dead out where I live. I described it to my wife as playing in post-apocalyptic world. The geocaching community however, is alive in kicking. If you like Ingress, you would definitely like geocaching as well.

Geocaching.com shows several in your wonderful homeland! You should definitely try it. You won't regret it one bit!

gosh, there's 4 in my 5000 popn town!
 
I played Ingress for a while, but it requires a lot of time to upkeep and I just didn't want to do it after a while. My husband DarkKnight still plays, I think. Lately I've been helping people on the Find a Grave website, which feels a lot like geocaching because I am still getting lots of walking in, but I'm also searching for a specific headstone in a particular cemetery. However, I feel like it's doing something positive for someone else, so I get positive feelings more so than I did with geocaching. :)

I love this community service to the world, Bluebird.

May I ask everyone, what is the point of the geocaching? All I understand is that you run around and "capture" pre-determined portals in your area. What is the object of the game?
 
Capturing portals is Ingress. There's no long term point to it, other than bragging rights. Geocaching is finding the log at a specific hidden location and signing in to show you found it, in person and online. Again, no real point, other than it can sometimes be difficult to find, and it's always a good feeling when you are able to locate it!
 
Ah, thanks, Bluebird. I like Find-a-Grave. Can anyone offer to do it? I'm actually going to be visiting a huge cemetary in Seattle this week.
