I am needing a little help locating a challenge cache that will allow me to find "X" amount of rest stop caches, not limited to finding said number of caches in a particular state. Anyone know of one? I would prefer the final cache be located in Michigan or the Midwest. My husband and I are going to cache our way down south on our vacation in 2 weeks. I am not the best at finding these challenge caches, I normally find them through friends bookmarks for listing completed caches for challenges. If there is an easier way I would love to know! Thanks for any help in advance!

The yellow Garmin Etrex was a great n00bie gps for me when starting out my greatly developed obsession with geocaching. I am looking to upgrade! My husband and I have been looking at Craigslist.com and best buy but so far what we are wanting and the price don't seem to be matching up. If you are selling a good to excellent GPS unit that might also be compatible with driving shoot me an email at wilso720@msu.edu. We are seriously looking at buying and what better place to look than with other geocachers. Any sales, tips, or recommendations are greatly welcomed! Thank you, and happy caching!

I like your thinking. I love geo caching! I (so far) have not been discouraged by not finding something...

Log in to www.ebay.com and in the search/find type in geocaching containers. There you will see hundreds of different types of micros that will give you an idea of what they look like or what you could use. Thanks! I realized after i said I didnt know what they looked like, i could easily solve the problem by actually google searching them. I have seen some fairly small ones. I will have to keep educating myself on what they look like.

Thanks.. I know we need some practice, we seem to have no problems so far with the small to reg. sized caches. My husband and I just bough our gps yesterday. The first cache find we used google maps to get us to the area using the co-ords. and then walked around to find it. Which was just luck on our part. We were out for like 3 hours today and found 2. spend like 30 minutes trying to find a micro... but had no luck. the gps was a little dodgy though probably because of the tree coverage.

My husband and I only have 3 actual finds under out belt, all of which are of small to regular size. We have several micro caches we want to find. We know the area where they might by but can not find time. Anyone have tips, hints, clues that might help make finding a micro cache easier to find? I know it depends on the cache, but what can be used as a micro?
