Hardings of Spring, Texas


HGCS: What got you interested in caching?
Hardings: We bought a yellow Magellan in 2004 for Ted to take to Iraq, which he used in military operations. While he was deployed, I read an article about geocaching in a travel magazine. It sounded like a fun way we could use the GPSr in an activity we could all do together.
When he got back, we went for our first hunt, and it was so much fun that we kept going. Of course, the bug bit me more than anyone else in the family, so it has primarily become a solo hobby, but we try to go together when we can, or I take kids or dogs with me when I go.

HGCS: How did you decide on your caching name?
Hardings: Well, if I had known I would be the one who was mostly caching under this handle, I would have chosen something to represent just me. As it was, when we were checking out the website, we decided to choose a name that represented everybody in the family, so we just took our last name and added a “s” to make us plural. We couldn’t think of anything else that would represent all four of us!

I was searching for a particular older article when I came across this one.
Looks like it was published just a few days ago.

I don't know the cachers or I don't think I know them mentioned in the article. They seem to hail from Spring. Anyone else think...

Many of you have been asking what ever became of the story request from Fox 26 News.  Well get your TiVo's or recorders ready as the story is to air on Friday, May 23rd at 9 p.m.  Tim and I spent the other morning with the Fox 26 news crew for several hours getting lots of footage and interview at Memorial Park.  We finished up just before the rains came!  angel ...
