I am fairly new to Geocaching just got my GPS this past may so I am still learinng the ropes. What I do is pick an area I want to visit then check to see what caches are in the area. I read the descriptions to see which ones sound interesting, print out the pages and take them along. I try to find the cache by the coordinates and my memory of what I read in advance. If I get really stuck I will pull out the paper and re read the description and decipher the clue if one is available as a last resort. I also like to plan motorcycle routes. I check to see if there are any relatively easy caches along the way, hiking far in full gear gets way to hot. I plan stops along the route by the location of the caches. switching the gps back and forth between on road and off road gets tricky at times but I have not gotten lost yet. I really like geocaching, by reading the cache pages I have learned some interesting things about places that I have been before and found new places I never knew existed
