Cache Quest

How about customizable icons? Just have a dozen or so different icons avail. that a user could name and choose to use for "whatever" ..emoticons for maps

Yes.. 10 years..and time flew by.. Cache Quest (Lots of changes)

I'm fairly new to geocaching and thought the hobby would be fun.. but it would appear that it is going from being fun to something I need to bring my attorney along with me on..

Thanks! I'll see how things go... Those match containers look good too..

Hello Everyone, fairly new to this... Only 3 hunts and 2 finds.. Lately I've been thinking creating some caches but think I need to have a few more finds under my belt first... Anyway... I've been staring at these on eBay for about 15 minutes... I just realized they might be great for micro caches.. What do you guys think? auction 1 auction 2 ... or is there something better for micro caches?

I ran across a hiking stick a few months ago that also doubles as a survival kit (system). I haven't purchased it because I think it's a little overkill for the local park and other areas I go. I never knew you could spend $200+ for a hiking stick, and another $200+ for the accessories... But for the serious wilderness hiker, I could see the advantages.... Here's a link to this very interesting Survival Staff. ----- Cache Quest

We logged our first cache as found yesterday and is doesn't show on the cache page nor or logged page... Is there a delay? Did we do something wrong? Thanks for the help... we're waiting to log 2 additional caches.... ----- Cache Quest

Well.. we played with the GPS for several hours today trying to experiement with various settings and really just confused ourselves... We're 'hands on' type people so decided that maybe we should just head out and try to find our firest cache... ya'know... real world experience can sometimes help... well... we know have a little better understanding of how everything works together... we found the cache within 15 minutes from the time we started and within 1 minute from the time I said... "It should be right around here" - Tomorrow we plan to head out and actually start changing some of the settings mentioned here and experiment.. we really enjoyed it!! - I'll log the find tomorrow.. ----- Cache Quest

Totem, Good tips! I was playing with the settings and wondering what setting would be best... I'll have to check out the topo software... Thanks! ----- Cache Quest

Thanks for the replys... We plan to combine GeoCaching with our metal detecting whenever possible. There seems to be a lot of caches in our area (the Finger Lakes). Our first choice for a username was "Cache22", but that was taken, it took us 2 days to come up with "Cache Quest" and got excited when it was available, couldn't believe it either... We've already read everything on the site and most of the forums so we might try finding our first cache tomorrow... (a test to see if we can use this GPS)

Hello everyone... My wife and I are brand new to Geocaching as of 3 days ago... Stumbled on this site about a year ago while doing a search for metal detecting sites and finally decided to give it a try... We just purchased a new Magellan Meridian Platinum GPS from OffRoute.com after following a link from here.. (we believe in supporting sites we frequent) - So.. now that we've already made the purchase and have it in our hands... does anyone have any caveats? Is this a good unit for geocaching? Are we good to go or should we return it for something else? ----- Cache Quest
