I am looking for suggestions for a waterproof container that doesn't cost too much. I have some pretty sturdy Rubbermaid containers (see pic), but I am not sure if they would hold up outside for a while. Thanks!

thanks for the information everyone.

I have sent out a couple messages to other geocachers, not from the forums, but from the geocaching main site. How do I get to the responses if I have any?

It's funny because I havent done much geocaching in past 4-5 years and when I did, I used a GPS unit from the 1990s where the only way to enter waypoints was to manually but the numbers in. Things have progressed which is good, but with it brings the potential for problems, e.g. using too much battery when trying to find a data source that doesn't exist. My trip isnt for another 2 weeks so this weekend I will try out some of these suggestions. This is my first smartphone and since I first posted I discovered that the college where I work has at best weak 2G data coverage with my carrier (unlike what their map coverage shows) and I haven't been able to do basic data functions. So I can probably take a drive to a cache that is not too far from home and experiment with geocaching with no data connection. Thanks for the help!

I found an old thread from 2009 for the iphone, but I just got an android and was looking to geocaching in an area with no cell reception. I'm not sure the best way to go about doing this. Can anyone with an Android describe how you go about doing this and what app would be good for this case? I can't really test this locally as everywhere has cell phone reception here.
