We're new to geocaching, but are full time RVers, and avid Jeepers. We happend to find out about the sport from a TV show, it looked like fun, and now we seem to be hooked. We have a satellite internet hookup which is fast and works just about everywhere we've been EXCEPT... northern Washington State, and according to our ISP, areas of northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnisota. This service is pricy $100 a month, and the mobile antenna arrangement is around 5K installed. I am aware of only one company that makes the antenna...motosat, but there may be more by now. The system automatically alligns itself with the satellite and away ya go! It will not work while in motion.
For us, this was a must have as we often are out of cell phone range in remote locations for weeks at a time. It just happens to work out for geocaching extremely well, and we've gotten 2 first finds this week alone near Quartzsite AZ. It's not that we looked for first finds, we were looking for anything in the area and there they were.
We feel that geocaching is the best activity we could have possibly come up with to go along with our full time RV/Jeepin' lifestyle.
