First, go to your profile, just click your name at the top of the screen. On the right side, look for a heading called "Premium Features", then click "Set Up Notifications". From there you can set up what types of caches you get emails for, or how far from your home you want caches that show up in your email to be.

I went to a camp a few years ago at a wildlife preserve that had a few caches. The counselors took us out to find them, and I was hooked instantly.

We found one in the Evergreen Cemetery in Gettysburg. There's a few soldiers buried there, along with a lot of the famous townspeople. It was a really nice walk to the cache and we found the grave of David Wills, whose house Abraham Lincoln stayed at when he went to Gettysburg to give the famous Address. But yeah, Civil War artifacts may be hitting an all-time high in value, with the 150th anniversary and all. It's bad that people would rob graves for them, but hey, people'll do anything for money these days.

First blank spot after the last signature usually, unless I have to try to cram it in somewhere on a full log.

An FTF we just got was a fun one. Finding the cache itself was easy, but it was locked, with the key inside. You had to get the key out in order to unlock the cache. We messed with that thing for a while before we finally got it. That was probably the best puzzle we've ever done.

One that got to me today: "To get to Cache #1 faster, don't let your GPS tell you where to go." I can see how this would be helpful if you read it before you went, but I wasn't happy to read this after already bushwacking a tenth of a mile to within 20 feet of GZ.

Here you go.

I'm trying to load up some puzzle caches for a trip Sunday-Tuesday, but I don't know how to change the coordinates to the actual ones instead of the fake ones given on the puzzle page. Any help will be much appreciated.

Mine is really obvious when you look at the username.

According to the stats in my profile, it was in late '08-early '09. Then again, we didn't have a GPS yet at that point. I can't remember our biggest slump when we had a GPS though...

A pathetic 6 And that was at a relative's. We've taken out a lot of the caches around home piecemeal, so to try to get a bunch in a run is pretty hard at this point.

It was at a summer camp at our local wildlife conservancy. There's a couple caches in there, so they took us caching on some of the days, and I got hooked.

"thgil" is "light" spelled backward. Yeah, I just figured it out last night. It was a lightpole cache, so that makes sense.

"Hudson, Taylor, Dean" -That one was a lightpole cache hint. "If you need a hint on this one, you weren't there. " -Granted, this one was a virtual, but we still spent 20 minutes finding the darn thing. "thgil" - I have no idea about this one, and that's after I decrypted it. "Where the money goes?" -Keyholder on the back of a sign, don't get this hint These are just a few of the ones I've seen, will post more later.

6 in one day, but it was still good because it was one of the few times that we've gone looking for more than one cache that we've found all the ones we looked for.

Oh, there's a lot of those. The easiest one that we had to make return trips to was a keyholder on a guardrail in a shopping center. Our first lamp pole skirt find took us about a half-hour.

Don't know of any specific ones, but maybe you could run a PQ for those types of caches in Philly.

We have one, and it was our first cache as a family. We had just learned about cacheing and hadn't bought a GPS yet, but the location was close and we knew the area of where it was, so we went down and found it in 2 tries.

I have one FTF, and I just got it on Thursday. It was less than 2 miles from home, and there was nobody else around, so it was pretty nice.
