P.S. Speaking of newbies, does anyone know if there is a forum to introduce yourself to the geocaching community, i.e. make local geocaching friends, etc.? I can't find one. Thanks!

VERY funny!! I am a newbie, too (started caching a month ago) and I bring: GPS, cellphone, camera, pen, swag to trade, flashlight, GPS manual, first aid kit, water, snacks, pocket knife/utility knife, bug repellant (VERY important!), cache printouts.
