My dakota 20 is pretty accurate. No issues other than the map being a bit off.

It's about seeing something that we never knew existed, seeing places we've never been, this is why we geocache, we don't always find what we want, but occasionally, there is an ever inspiring scenery or site that makes us say to ourselves, "this is amazing".

Awesome, thanks, this was exactly what I needed to know.

Just wondering if there is a gps that you can use to connect to a cell phone via bluetooth to download caches and log cache finds while out in the field? I have a cache app on my phone but would rather use a gps if these features were available.

You know, I bet that probably 95% (and I don't have proof, just the people I know who do geocache) don't care about the politics, the business side, etc of geocaching. All they want to do is load a coordinate or a few and just find a cache. So what, I got into this hobby for my own reasons, for the fun of it and the adventure and the satisfaction we get when we get a find. If the game has changed, so what. If people like stats, so what, who cares. If you enjoy the game for what it is, then all that stuff about the game changing is meaningless. I have been doing this for 10 years now and enjoy it as much now as I did then. Some caches are bad, but some are amazing. Power trails are fine, we did two last year, but we only did it for the experience of completing a pt. Numbers to us aren't why we geocache. We geocache for the adventure, one cache at a time. It is one of the things we enjoy doing as a family. That part of geocaching, I wouldn't trade for anything.

Cache in, trash out! Works for us.

We use a garmin Legend, it is basic but it works fine. We also use a Palm Pilot that includes the decription of the cache etc. This is totally old school but we love it.

This is awesome. This has been on our bucket list for quite a while.

Although our cache finds in PEI are only a couple of handfuls, when we were there, there wasn't many but we really enjoyed our time there. Now that we live out west, we don't get to PEI like we would like to. However, our vacation plans are to go to NS and PEI so we hope to hit some caches in our old stomping ground. Thanks for the suggestion Ma & Pa.

Nemo is always up for geocaching.

We use a 2001 S10 4x4 extended cab and it has only gotten us stuck once. Never afraid to go into bad terrain at all with this vehicle. Very decent on gas and enough room for geocaching. We have been using it since we started geocaching.

It would creep me out.

We have only completed one power trail and we thought of just claiming a find for each when we only found a few but couldn't bring myself to do this. I don't know, but seems to me and this is just my opinion, these caches should be treated as all others. Sign the log and then claim as a find. But I guess some play the game in different ways, we prefer to sign each logbook, takes alot of time and is repetitious, but at least i can say we did it the way it was intended.

Good items not to leave are matches, knives, food, scented items, anything in liquid form.

Nice!!!

I thought it was just me and something i did, but i am having the same problem and i still haven't figured out the problem.

What we do when we retrieve a bug or coin from a cache that is still in the hands of someone, we do wait a few days, if no log is completed, then we will grab it from the cacher who it is said to be in the hands of then we dip it in the cache that we found it in and move it along to another cache. Not sure if this is proper etiquette, but at least the trackable gets it's mileage.

Found a cache one time using a cardboard pringles container with saran wrap for the cover with an elastic band holding it together. It was soaked. The worst cache container I have ever seen. Not even a ziploc to keep the log book dry.

What a sad loss. Our most sincere thoughts to all involved.

Had that issue happen to me twice. Was asked to pop the trunk once. lol The truth definitely is best.

I agree with that. Seems to cheapen geocaching. Sad.

I've done it correctly as stated in the help you mentioned. I will try again in a few days. Thanks
