    I wish there was other ways of obtaining the premium membership rather than having to pay for it. Like contests or something of the sort. Not making it free but making sure someone has to really work for it if they want that membership.

     

    So like working for a few hours and getting paid and getting a premium membership?

    It's all well and good for you, but contests and such don't pay for rent and employees and such.

     

    But it's just a game at the end of the day. I don't see it being unreasonable to have contests for it.

    I accidentally did this for a solid two days when I first discovered the app. I would put NA when the log was wet thinking it would just notify the owner. Now I look back and shutter. I didn't know any better but I don't think that should call any reason to hate newbies.

    I love all of your stories!

     

    I'm going to tell one from my first day of geocaching.

     

    Well I discovered this app not to long ago (December) and I really didn't understand that geocaches go off of trails; I just thought you go straight to them. Well that ended me up into a thorn bush the size of big foot. I was stuck for 20 minutes until some bikers came by and rescued me. It was unbelievably frustrating as the geocache was within sight but I had gotten myself into such a bind that I wasn't able to retrieve it until my rescue.

     

    I'm just saying that it should be written somewhere that you don't necessarily go straight to the geocache. It was awful at the time but now I look back it and snicker.

    Oh, my! The memories are coming back. I have to share another one.

     

    Back in early 2003, I went on a hike with Alamogul (look at his profile to understand more) and a couple of other guys on Mount Diablo. We started relatively near the top and descended, grabbing caches as we went. We got to the last cache we planned for the day, but Lee (that's Alamogul) saw that there was another one only .38 mile away. I had a topo map with me and tried to dissuade him. "It shows that the cache is 1000 feet lower than we are now! You want to descend a thousand feet in 3/8 of a mile?"

     

    Turns out he did, and he convinced the rest of us.

     

    So we did the very steep descent (which, as it turned out, was directly through a bunch of thick poison oak) and got the cache.

     

    But now it is getting late and we have a 2000 foot climb back up to the car. We started up and it got dark (and I was the only one with a flashlight!) and it was kinda touch-and-go for a while but eventually we reached the car.

     

    Where a ranger was waiting for us. The park was closed. He told us that we should be fined $80 apiece and the car towed. We told him about our travails in the most pathetic voice we could muster and he let us off and drove ahead of us to unlock the gate to let us out of the park.

     

    So let that be a warning to anyone who wants to cache with Alamogul. He's a wild one!

     

    Oh my goodness! That is insane!

    Hello! I'm Brandy and I just started geocaching around last thanksgiving. I have fallen in love with it. My fiancee introduced me to the game when we were in a state park pretty bored with nothing to do. I have since got a few other of my friends into the game and they love it to. I just bought my first track able and hope it will do well out there in the caches. Maybe i'll get premium one day. Who knows!
