Live Wire and Hi-Flier

Just want to thank everyone for your helpful answers to my questions. I was almost too embarrassed to ask but now am glad I did. I have noticed a few caches are in my immediate area and am all geared up to get started and if I really like this as much as I think I'm going to, I will be asking Santa for a GPSr for Christmas. I had to laugh at some of the posts about being spooked in the woods. I go in the woods all the time with no protection (weapon) and never am afraid of anything (maybe because I was raised in the deep boonies) but some of the posts really made me stop and think, golly, what if I fell and broke my leg or something, and we've also had several bear sightings here lately...maybe I should take your advise and make sure I'm not so vulnerable. I think I am going to be a lot more aware of my surroundings from now on. Sure would be great to find a caching partner to show me the ropes so if any of you near Canaseraga, NY are reading this and have the time, just leave me a post here and maybe we can get together. Thanks again everyone and happy caching! M.K.V. (aka hi-flier)

Just found this great site today but I have a couple questions. On the opening page, type in your zip code and it takes you to a page where you can see some of the caches in your area...one of the columns above is D/T...I assume it means Date/Time?? OK, now I am all psyched about preparing my first cache but I don't understand the latitude-longitude thing. I assume it's used to zero in on a location if you have one of those finders, but what if I don't have that equipment? I am sure I can still participate but then what if I want to hide a cache? Do I need to know that L/L info for posting my cache? Hope someone can set me straight on this and thanks in advance.
