I posted this over a year ago and got a ton of positive response, so I wanted to repost as a courtesy. Here is an article on how to Geocache without a GPS unit. Though I am addicted to my Garmin, in the very beginning, I hunted many without a unit.. until I was hooked enough to spend the money on equipment. For those of you out there interested in trying the sport out, without an investment, here are some tips to get you started.. until you're able to find the right GPS unit for you. http://familytravel.suite101.com/article.c...hout_a_gps_unit

I'd love to talk to him/her. If you run across them, send em' my way. That is truly awesome.

Thank you very much. I'm somewhat addicted to Geocaching, and I'm fortunate to work for several news sites, if you can think of any other news-worthy topics I could cover, I'll happily do what I can to continue spreading the word about this great hobby. I'm getting my sixty plus year old mother into the sport.. it's excellent excercise.

Maybe I should have clarified. You can follow the driving directions even after you get out of your car. Google will give you directions as if the entire route were driveable. Even if the cache were not within 20' of a public road, the directions will lead you right to the point it's hidden as if it were. You just hoof it the rest of the way. Hope this helps.

I started out geocaching without wanting to make an initial investment.. after I found my first half dozen caches, I bought not one.. but two GPS units. I'm officially a junkie now. I did an article recently on getting started with a GPS.. and figured I'd share it with the community. It might help someone out who is interested in getting started, before purchasing equipment. http://familytravel.suite101.com/article.c...hout_a_gps_unit

I recently did an article on Geocaching with a GPS unit. I realize that this isn't very traditional, but I'm hoping it will bring new interest into the sport in general. I started out without a GPS and now am the proud owner of two. I wanted to share it with the community.. http://familytravel.suite101.com/article.c...hout_a_gps_unit
