I did indeed, thanks in large part to everyone's encouragement. I think a key thing is to put away the GPS.

Thanks, everyone, for your advice and encouragement. Yes, I do need to get out more....

Geocaching seems so awesome, and I've found a couple of dozens caches now, but I'm on the verge of giving up. I am clearly doing something wrong. Frequently I am the only one in dozens or hundreds of people who looked for a cache and can't seem to find it. I sometimes spend half an hour turning over every rock, poking into every hole, brushing aside every pile of leaves, and almost breaking my neck on some slippery slope, and still I come up empty-handed. I look at the hint, photos, and past logs, and still nada. Meanwhile, I read about people who find dozens of caches in a single afternoon. So what's the secret? What's the trick? For specificity, take the cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=ecd079eb-4b28-4b3e-9f43-a67539030825. How should I approach this?
