- What do you like to do on your free time? I love geocaching. I see so many beautiful and unusual places I would never know about otherwise. The amount of history you learn about different areas is interesting. My favorite place to geocache is in cemeteries. Weird huh? You would be amazed the history and things you learn in cemeteries. Especially the old, abandoned rural cemeteries.
- Are you a pet person? YES! I have a 2 year old Morkie named Cache and he loves the days we go caching. He is always my side kick on these adventures. I also have a 9 year old Yorkie that is my shadow.
