CachingOKC2

Ok, fair enough, it probably is email, but I have put my phone number in and I get text messages whenever a new cache is published. Been doing that for years. I also get notifications via my email account. I also know this isn't Twitter, I only used that as an example. Thanks for the replies!

I would like to be able to have notifications to my phone (via text) during certain times of the day be disabled. For instance: I have instant notifications going to my phone via text message. I would like to disable the text messages to my phone from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Twitter has this feature. I can edit the times that I do not get notification to my phone. Thanks

My Son and I stumbled onto a show on PBS about Geocaching. We enjoy the technology for sure, but I love hanging out with my son. The other thing I love about it is the the creativity of some of the Geocachers That plant caches for all of us. I am amazed everytime I go out at how creative people are.

My son and I started almost exactly one month ago. First thing is what GPS unit to buy, then how to use it. We found out quickly that typing the coordinates in was time consuming and error prone. It is amazing how one number can throw you off so far! Second - what the heck are we looking for? We didn't understand that the story (sometimes) pretty much tells what the cache will be. We didn't understand the cache size thing so our first cache we tried to find was a micro in a hollowed out Sweet Gum Ball, hanging 6 feet in the air on a Cedar Tree branch! We never thought to look up in the tree! (this was our very first cache to find) I wish we would have known to try to find the regular to large size containers when first starting out Third - We were amazed at how nice and helpful most geocachers are. I wish someone or some prominent post would have told us that it is ok to use the email thing to ask for help. Once we did that, we were amazed at how much help people wanted to be. Fourth - Find a local geocacher group and attend their meetings. Great time to get some great advice and meet some of the people you are reading about in the logs. Single best thing you can do.
