There's a "new to me" geocaching book. Caching In: A Geocaching Love Story (Pastime Pursuits Book 1) by Tracey Krimmer Free today on Amazon Kindle. Received 4.5 stars so far too. I haven't read it yet so can't give my review.

I'm wanting to search the caches using a keyword and sorting them by my location. I'm only seeing a way to do 1 or the other, but not both. Is it possible and I'm just not seeing how to? I am specifically wanting to search for caches by my zip code that have Easter in them, so we can do Easter themes ones tomorrow. Thanks for your help!!!

Can't wait to see Iowa. This is great what you're doing!

When I printed it, just a map showed up, no cache symbols.

Yeah that's the type of page I want to print from. But when I do it doesn't show the marked caches.

Is there a way to print out the map (such as google map) with all the caches marked on there? I'm not computer literate, so something easy would be nice. I want to be print out the map of the area we are going and have the caches marked on the map, so I don't have to A. do it personally or B. write down all the interestions and addys of them. Thanks!

What we have: I have an old Palm3 for our PDA and a Garmin Vista and Legend. What I want: to be able to see the maps like you can see on the cache page, but on either my PDA or GPS. What software do I need? I'd like to be able to be out on the road and searching through my list of caches and when we realize we're not sure where a cache is, be able to find it on one of the units. I'd like it to bring us to side street names. I'm not very clear on that sorry, but I hope you can get the gist of what I'm looking for and help me out! Thanks!!

Here's one I picked up. Thought it might like to visit some "relatives" I have, lol.

Alright I got it all sorted out...I think! Thanks for your help! Really need to pay more attention to what I'm doing sometimes!

So I really do know how to log and drop TB's. But for some reason when I logged the TB drop the other day I dropped the wrong coin in the log online. So I still had the number and picked it back up, no problem. But I went to drop the correct coin in the cache and didn't realize I dropped the coin in the wrong cache online. UGG!! I don't have the correct coin's tracking number to pick it back up and drop it in the right cache. Is there anything I can do, or do I just need to wait for someone to pick the coin from the physical cache and "grab" it from me?? I feel like such a fool!!

I recent;y switched to a larger purse so I could stash my cache stuff it in and hunt in busy areas without looking too weird. So I had my gps, pda, couple baggies of small swags, pen, pencil sharpener, not sure what else. I don't always have that stuff, but usually it's in my car ready to toss in my purse when need be.

This is our usual. Suprisingly we can get to most places...and out of them too. We do have a 2002 Ford Taurus that we can take, but the kids have more fun taking daddy's car.

Oh ouch! And I thought my one wasp sting was bad enough, I can't imangine multiple ones! Hope you're okay!

Am I going to find little blue ducks all over?? And no, I don't know my exact cords, but they can't be too far off from BlueDeuce's.

The easiest solution would be to cache alone! Never let anyone else go with you and if perhaps you run into, or someone runs into you at a cache, leave right away so you can find it on your own!

I got some friends hooked on geocaching and they have gone without a unit. I believe they have 24 finds right now, including multi's. I have offered them my 2nd unit many times, but they are having fun finding the caches their way. I think it's awesome they can find them by using maps, but I'm not that good. Of course, I spent the money on a gps, so I sure as heck gonna use it! They say eventually they'll get one, but for now they're gonna try and see how many they can find with the gps!

So there was something else at the store besides the paper and the title? I've printed my own geocaching stuff on my computer to use on my scrapbook pages. I can make lots of fun stuff. Don't have any of the pages scanned to show though. I'd be up to see what digi kit you come up with.

I just heard that if you have a tick on you sprinkle garlic on it and it'll take off...which you can then torch it!! This same person also said if you eat alot of garlic, the ticks won't stick to you. I too love burning them! There is great satisifaction to really killing one after you have picked it off your body, or your childs!

We got a friend of ours into goecaching and they have gone without a gps. They have 16 or 17 finds without using one. I have offered our second one to them to use, but they like their way so far. I was going to try and do one without a unit...but then I realized naw, I bought the things, mide as well use them!

We have some Micro machine cars, bouncy balls and little poppers we stick in little caches.

My one son learned a new lesson about peeing in the woods. Don't stand so close to the tree while you are peeing, it tends to bounce back on you, YUCK!!

Hiking stick is your #1 friend!! Here in Iowa, not too many posion snakes, but you never know. We always carry one. The only time I've ever gotten bitten from an animal was in Florida and the cache was on a hill of red ants! Those suckers got my hands and ankles, ugg! Non animal bits, include PLENTY of thorns all over the body!

BB has Microsoft Street & Trips 2006 for $9.99 after rebate. Just wondering how useful it might be in geocaching, or at all? We have a Garmin Legend and Vista, no pda. Not sure if S&T is any different from using say mapquest to find your routes. Since I can get directions or zoom on there. Says...GPS routing features include GPS trail, rerouting and distance-based voice prompting (requires a GPS device that supports NMEA 2.0 or later) Would this work with my units?

So who says the snake wasn't there first? Why shoudl the snke move his home and not the cache be moved? Or a warning saying snakes have been seen nearby? Leave the snake alone. But when caching, people should be aware snakes are possible to be anywhere.

We just carry a backpack and swap shoes when we get to the part we have to hike. Also keeps the bike shoes a bit cleaner.
