I've been a sports/outdoors writer at a small daily newspaper for more that 12 years and heard about geocaching some time ago. I finally bought a Garmin Colorado 300 to get started, and as part of some research for an article I wrote. The GPS sat in my vehicle for about three weeks until I found some time yesterday to look for a cache only about a mile from my house.
The cache was easy to get to, but finding it took about 30 minutes of searching a little wooded area with numerous broken and fallen trees. I was ready to give up and take care of all the cuts and scrapes on my legs, when I turned my head to the left and saw the camo-tape covered tin.
It was a cool rush to find my first cache and now I'm looking for ideas of things to put in these caches. Anyway, one cache down, many more to go!
