That's exactly how I ended up here. I heard about OSM on a geocaching podcast back in 2008. Geocachers are gps-savvy adventurists who love contributing their knowledge of places and routes, many are map geeks by nature, so OSM is a perfect complement to their hobby. OSM input by expert cachers = better maps on geocaching.com, a symbiotic relationship. Likewise, any OSMers who haven't heard of geocaching may want to give it a go and add a bit of fun to their mapping expeditions.
