and attaching it to my Palm. I own/run a computer-related business. I

Bio: I have 3 teenagers, ranging from Jr. High to collage age. Originally from California, I moved to the Chicagoland area in 1999 and have never regretted it.

Caching Name: Salz69
First Name: Lee
What County do you live in:
When did you start caching: August 3, 2007
When did you join GONIL: September 17, 2007
Bio: I'm married to Therese, and have three great kids. I'm 45 years old, got my first GPS on my birthday in 2007, and found my first cache the next day. As with a lot of cachers, it snowballed from there into this gargantuan addiction. I mostly enjoy deep woods caches, with long hikes and great scenery, but as the day wears down, there's always room for "just a couple more". I love a challenging puzzle that can be done ahead of time- but not really crazy about many-stage multi's, unless it's in an awesome setting. I'm no stranger to wanting to shoot for a "numbers run", always trying to top my personal best- to date of writing this being 84.
Caching Name: mgbmusic
First Name: Adam
What County do you live in: Cook
When did you start caching: June 11, 2006
When did you join GONIL: October 8, 2006
Bio: mgbmusic, or --MGb as he's known on the forums began caching in the summer of 2006. He initially was attracted to the "Secret knowledge" aspect, that hundreds of people walk by that hole in the tree every day, but no one knows about the pill bottle hidden in there. Also, while he enjoys hiking, geocaching provides a destination. He finds just as much enjoyment in ammo boxes in the woods as he does in bison tube stuck onto guardrails and he vehemently believes "There is NO SUCH THING as a cleverly-hidden Pine Tree Micro." He mostly caches with his almost-3 year old son, KAd the minicacher.

Adam has enjoyed his time at GONIL immensely and he hopes to help contribute to its future success.
