Went Geocaching this weekend

[Tater]

So, I decided to make an impromptu geocaching trip to the reservior near here yesterday. I didn't find the cache but it was a great day to be in the mountains. I got in a short hike and came home with a nasty sunburn (no top on the Jeep) but it was a good day. I did notice one thing, though: an awful lot of people don't return the 'wave' anymore. I remember riding with my Grandpa up to the lake when I was a kid and everyone was happy to see you. They waved when driving by, said 'goodmorning' or good afternoon' when they were walking near, etc. Anymore, it seems like folks are too caught up in their own lives to be curtious. I waved at everyone I passed in my Jeep and only about half returned the wave. While I was walking around, only about half the people I came in contact with seemed like they were genuinely happy to talk. The others seemed annoyed at the fact that some guy was interupting their day at the lake. Maybe I'm just being over-sensitive but one of the things I love about going hiking, fishing, camping, etc. is getting to talk to people who have the same passion I do: the outdoors. Like I said, maybe I'm just being over-sensitive. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?
