Hey, thanks for the replies everyone. I went for three caches on Sunday (two regular and one virtual.) Needless to say, I only found the virtual cache, as I knew exactly where it was. I think one of the others was gone, and the final cache was in a woodland area and I beleive I walked right past it on more than one occasion. I big thanks to the LostOutdoors.com suggestion. Their map maker is awesome! I suppose I will just try untill I have the cash for a gps (no pun intended).

Thanks guys, I appriciate it. I guess I might as well try it, but I'll have to research the whole coordinate system. I don't know how I'll find a map with parallels and meridians down to the degree, though. Any Ideas?

Man, GPS technology isn't cheap! Is there any way to hunt old school with a compass and a map? PS - To answer your question, yes, I am a newbie.
