FritterGirl 02-25-2010, 10:34 AM Martin Park Nature Center is putting on an "Introduction to GeoCaching" event on Sunday, March 28 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. There is a nominal fee of $2 per person. mmonroe 02-25-2010, 01:36 PM I've been geocaching for almost a year, started out lettering boxing with a prof in college and started geocaching on a family camping trip last year... Levi 02-25-2010, 01:50 PM The family loves to geocache, especially the kids. Jethrol 02-25-2010, 11:04 PM I worked with a woman that tried to get me into geocaching. It sounded like fun and she was going to talk more about it last year....but then she got fired....so I still haven't done anything. Caboose 02-26-2010, 10:04 AM I go all the time. Its a good activity to get the kids out of the house. My daughter calls it "treasure hunting". Fun stuff. mmonroe 02-27-2010, 02:12 PM Right on, we cache under a team name.. "Team GeoPiRates". pancho_and_lefty 02-27-2010, 05:10 PM I want gc'ing a couple of times last summer. I will probably do it again once the weather breaks here. I would like to geocache further than just my metro, though. I might try and do some regional treks. Jethrol 02-27-2010, 05:50 PM How does one get started with this? How do you know what to do? mmonroe 02-27-2010, 06:33 PM Read through Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site (http://www.geocaching.com) and buy a GPS that displays Lat and Long, then look up caches in your area, follow the coordinates, find the cache sign the log and/or trade out items, and then record your visit to geocaching.com on the cache's profile page. PennyQuilts 02-27-2010, 08:27 PM It sounds like fun - I'd thought about doing it but haven't gotten around to it. I have had two different people swear that they came across drugs and allegedly had to call the cops. I think that is one thing that has made me a bit nervous - plus, you wonder about someone keeping an eye on a cache and causing trouble. But most people seem to think it is great fun. FormerFloridian 02-27-2010, 11:43 PM I've got to admit.... I didn't know what geocaching was until I read the title of this thread. I didn't even read the posts, I just read Geocaching, then googled it and I haven't stopped researching it since then. I am so hyped about it and can't wait to go out and find my first cache. Happy Hunting! BTW: My name on Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site (http://geocaching.com) is PoisonIvy1354. kevinpate 02-28-2010, 05:06 AM I don't, but folks I know who do seem to enjoy it. There's a cache in a location that's visible from our home. On occasion, we'll notice folks scrambling around looking for it. stick47 02-28-2010, 07:37 AM BlackStar is a free app for GPS enabled Blackberry phones. I have it on mine but haven't had time to do any geocaching yet. |
