There have been times I've just grabbed my cellphone and pretended to have a lenghty and complicated conversation about server and network outages (I'm in IT and can speak the language). As I'm standing there (on the phone) I'll do my looking around. Most times the muggles move on and I grab, sign and go. If not, I then move on and will come back later.

Congrats on the first find. It will get easier. Learn to trust your instinct and your GPS. :-) Jerry

Friday was my birthday and the wife and I drove up to Breckenridge. Then more caching on Saturday and Sunday for a total of 15 new finds over the long weekend. Fun Fun.

To be honest, I really either don't remember what my priorities were when I started (2009) or never bothered trying to establish any. I was pretty "gung-ho" the first year and then didn't play for almost two years. This year I've been focusing on losing weight and getting into better shape. Just walking around the block started to get boring so I decided to combine it with geocaching. I think for now, this is just about having fun. I recently introduced my wife to geocaching and while I don't see her opening an account on gc.com, it is something she will enjoy tagging along with me. J

Hi All, I've not really been lurking...I have posted a couple of times, but just never failed to really introduce myself. Name is Jerry and I just started geocaching. My stats currently are 4 Found, 1 Not Found (but don't believe the cache is there) and I've adopted 3 caches. I sort of learned about geocaching through amateur radio (ham radio). I'm having fun....and hope to continue finding and hiding lots of caches. Jerry

Thanks again everone... Jerry

Thank you for the help. This makes sense. Jerry

I'm sure this has been answered before. I did a quick search and also read the FAQ, but I didn't see an obvious answer. My question is this. Is it customary when finding and taking a travel bug or geocoin to always leave a TB or GC in the cache? Of course I understand that if I visit a cache and take something, I should leave something of equal or greater value. But does the same apply to TB's and GC's? I have ordered a couple of travel bugs and hope they arrive next week. I'm still looking into geocoins and hope to put together a couple of my own caches. Thank you for your help. Jerry
