Congratulations!
Reminds me of my story - about 4 years ago I was searching with my now ex-girlfriend for a geocache near the beach and found GZ to be this amazing scenic spot overlooking most of the beach. It was breathtaking, and I knew that I would one day be proposing to my wife there (thankfully it wasn't the girl I was with at the time!
) The cache is GC1WCAK. Roughly three years later, I proposed to my wife there on 04/28/2013.

Anyways, I'd suggest you make the cache page, and wait to submit it until after you've proposed. Hide it well (obviously) and make sure you hire someone to record/take pictures! They're worth looking back on later down the road!
Good luck!

i spent money on the Groundspeak app too and am terribly disappointed. i spent an hour trying to find a very very easy cache and it never showed my location properly. i wish you could get your money back from a bad app.
Sorry to hear that. I just recently bought an iPhone and the Geocaching app was the first app I downloaded. For me, it only has one drawback - which others have been discussing on this forum - which is it's inability to input coordinates for multicaches. Still, this app sure beats manually inputting them into my eTrex any day!
If your location isn't being displayed properly, you could probably bring your GPSr with you and look up a nearby cache, then put those coordinates into your GPSr...

I took apart my garmin etrex and rewired it into a book:
Note that this was a prototype, and isn't very pretty. I mainly just wanted to see if it could be done.

It's obviously the work of Chuck Norris.
There's a few things that could have done that much damage...bears...moutain lions...etc.

Back on topic...
Personally, I look for something that "gets the job done" for a little/no cost. This usually translates to building my own equipment, which works very nicely.
First, I want to note that I always bring a backup (of everything). My backup stove is one of those soda pop alcohol stoves that my friend gave me for my birthday.
The main stove is made out of a coffee tin. The bottom has been removed (but not discarded) so it looks like a cylinder. There are two main holes in the bottom to feed fuel through (sticks, pinecones, fuel blocks, etc.). Holes are punched all around the tin about 3/4 of the way up. That's it!
If I want to, I can put metal rods (I use bits of hangars) through the holes to keep food from falling into the flame. Normally I'll just put my mess kit plate/bowl/cup on top, and let it cook.

What to say when you get caught.
