  1. I work full time...go to school full time...this is supposed to be the thing that I do to keep myself sane...don't tell me that its going to make me crazy!!! *JK* I am glad BF is planning on trying it out and seeing what it is all about. It is fun! I like searching for treasure!!!
  2. I think you're right...see there is a small problem with having my pic taken with my GPS. EVERY trip BF and I have been on-he holds the map...and EVERY trip I have a picture of him with the map...until a recent trip to Disney. I had the map...so the photo is of ME with the map and not him. So, can you just imagine what the caption would be with me following a GPS!!! I guess this is more an inside joke between BF and me-but I'm sure you all get it.
  3. I'm loving it! Tracking Trio-I used to live in Grand Rapids too! I was there for about 3 years when I went to Davenport...small world!
  4. Ok, so, I've got my GPSr, swag, premium membership. I have looked at all the places I can go. I have barely read my GPS Users Manual...but today was going to be the day. It was a dreary rainy morning and as I kind of bummin'. I was planning after I did some volunteer work to see how this geocaching thing worked-or if I could even find anything. BF told me to wake him before I left, so, I did. Then I told him, "We're going to go geocaching today!" In his tired not quite awake self replies, "OH GOODIE!" in this condesending tone that seemed a little harsh. Now, this might not seem funny-but I guess you just have to know BF and me. He stopped what he was saying and looks at me and says "Well, that was a little harsh wasnt it?" and we both broke out laughing The game plan was for me to go and volunteer, he was going to wait for UPS to get to drop off a package and when I came home, we would got, find the cache and go to the movies. Easy plan right? Well, I get home, the UPS guy hadn't shown up and I really wanted to go figure out how to use my GPS. So, I figured out how to put the coordinates in and asked BF if I could go get the first cache without him. He hesitated and told me to go ahead. So, in the car I go...hit find on the GPS and we were off! I get to the spot, my GPS beeps at me to tell me I have arrived. As I pulled into the parking lot, there is a muggle. AUGH! She saw me when I came in but then fell back asleep in her car. PHEW! Safe! So, I follow the hint and there it was! Easy first find, but I didn't want to be all bummed out if I didn't find my first one. So, I called BF and told him I found it!!! I signed the log, left my swag and took something too! I was just bummed that I forgot my camera. I wanted to scrapbook the event. Oh well, next time!!! This was lots of fun and I am looking forward to doing it again next weekend!!!
  5. Hi trailgators! We made some great memories this weekend! I've been wanting to go geocaching for quite a while now but my wife was kind of reluctant. So I bought "her" a garmin etrex for her birthday! Great fun! Yeah thats how you guys sucker us into things!!! I know your tricks... BF does sstuff like ths I'm flattered that he wants to spend time with me (we've been really really busy lately-so its nice to see that he's thinking of me when he comes home with little packages for me of things I would never buy myself)....Congrats on getting the wife out! Have fun!!!
  6. Hi Everyone! So, I got my GPS. Found an easy cache to find first time around. BF and I are going to go hunt this bad boy down tomorrow. AND I've got SWAG! I had a hard time with this. I wasn't sure what to leave...but I found something!!! and I'm looking forward to leaving it tomorrow. YEAH!
  7. good question...we just recently switch to macs and havent found software yet...saving this for later.
  8. hmmm...maybe I should try that...hmmm...what's a girl to do! Oh well..we'll see if we can fit it in the schedule...otherwise...It's gonna be a different trip...but thats ok b/c I love NYC!!!
  9. Ok I think I figured out where I am going to start...There was a park that my grandpa used to take me to when I was a kid. They are a middle star on the scale...but its a great place! So, I'll start there. Thank you for your insight!
  10. + chin finger??? Huh??? Help a newbie out here...whats this all about
  11. hmmm...ok...I guess I have some looking to do...
  12. Hi Everyone Ok Thursday...Definately Thursday...come heck or high water...and we're supposed to get snow on Sunday *pout* So, provided it isn't too cold...I'm going for my first cache...and I've decided to drag good ol' BF with me (I'll feed him-he'll be fine) Anywho, what do you look for for your first couple of caches? I know I want easy ones, but I don't know where to look first... What helped you make your first decisions for caches??? any insight-greatly appreciated! Thanks Lost (for now!)
  13. I like diamonds... and I would love to find pretty rocks that I can make jewlery with. (another one of those bad bad bad hobbies!!!) I need to find some of your caches!!! But seriously...I like diamonds...
  14. Hi! I'm new too and just wanted to say Hi!
  15. thank you for the insight...it helps..maybe we will just have to make another trip down there....just to geo cache...
  16. I dont know if I could get BF to do that...
  17. maybe just one...but I'm gonna have to find one or two before I leave.
  18. um ok...but I'm not looking for gold...I'm looking for caches!!! *confused-but it doesnt take much*
  19. Good Morning! BF and I will be in NYC in May and am wondering...hmmm...should I go find my first cache there? It would a kind of a big deal...eat at carnigie deli...shop at the apple store...geocache...have dinner at serendipity...visit some museums...geocache. The problem is that I planned the trip prior to having our little GPS...No worries, he's small and good for travel. But can I get our little guy on the plane with out anyone asking any questions??? Or will that make TSA all wacky and weird??? Or is NYC a little bit on the big side to be caching??? BF would want to hold the little guy and I wouldnt get to play...keep in mind that we usually have 2 of everything b/c we don't like to share...well we only have 1 GPS. (for now) Or should I get a little practice between now and then and maybe plan another trip for the NYC caching adventure...hmmm the choices...any insight???
  20. ericles...those are pretty!!! I love the disk ideas...I love doing creative stuff and plan on doing a small scrapbook on my first season!!! And then one for my travel bug...and...ok so I have a number of vices Ok off to volunteer today...maybe some of the kids I see can come up with something. I'll let you know...sometimes they have some of the best ideas! Chat with you later Have a magical Day!
  21. Andrew -very funny! BF and I took the new family member on a road trip to see how this thing works...HE had to play with it...So, I might leave BF at home for the first find. Leon- I'd get lost in a paper bag with a hole cut out of the other end!!! I just use lost as a shortened notallwhowanderRlost...maybe I should use wandering...or something-what do you think??? I will log my first expedition for all to see...it should prove funny really. Classes are almost over, so I will have time to work on this...but first I have to figure out how the gizmo works...
  22. I live in NY...I'd love to see these boxes! I need to a token item I think...hmmmm....the choices!
