OK, HERE IS THE DEAL. IN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE SEARCHED FOR 5 GEOCACHES (3 IN CULVER CITY AND 2 IN
DOWN TOWN LOS ANGELES. IN EACH CASE I:
1) USED 2 DIFFERENT GPS UNITS (TO MAKE SURE I WAS AT
THE RIGHT SPOT)
2) IN EACH CASE I SEARCHED THE PERIMETER (36DEGREES
UP TO 20 FT)3) PUT MY HAND INTO BUSHES WHERE THE SPIDERS AND
RATS LIVE
4) HAD STREET PEOPLE/DRUG DEALERS STARRING AT ME.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I FOUND----NOTHING!! (NO BAG, TO TIN, NO CAN-ANYTHING RESEMBLING A GEOCACHE).
I HUMBLY ASK THAT THE RULES BE CHANGED FOR GEOCACHES TO: 1) BE PUT IN A STANDARD BRIGHT YELLOW CAN (THE KIND YOU BUY TENNIS BALLS). I HUMBLY ASK THIS BECAUSE GEOCACHEING IS GOING FROM A FUN EXCITING ACTIVITY TO SOMETHING ELSE.

We took some friends out for their first two caches.
Welcome to the asylum.

From what I understand the scent of Peg or Ellylidan alone will tip me off well before they see me. Being alone allows me to travel in the shadows and darkness of the swamp. Maybe Peg and Ellylidan will be surprised at what THEY see!!!! It is Halloween Night and you never know what tranformations can happen on that night!!!!
Gah. This is one that the boys and i want to do dearly.
trick or treating seems to be taking precedence, however.
-
Wow. That is stunning.
When do I get to deserve such a gorgeous coin, I wonder?
-
they pop up on craigs list, too.
-
How?
in How do I...?
Sometimes it's by myself and others it's with the wife. Just don't tell my girlfriend
1. Check GPS
2. Drive
3. ???
4. Profit!

how many dusty CD,s do you have... I love new music and some music I had never heard of before i have found in GC's...
True story... Myself, having worked in the music business for... too long.. i can honestly say I have thousands. After cherry picking the best of the best off on ebay, and putting the rest onto a WMC server, I'm happy to share the bulk with others. Weve only been GCing for a week and a half, but have enjoyed clearing out space in the garage, one disc at a time, by leaving them in any cache large enough to hold them.
Now if only we can find caches big enough to hold LPs and 12" singles, i can start moving those out, too...
-
Nope.
Never a day.
BUT, I learned about GCing at one of my boys troop meetings.
Does that count?

the worst thing that happened to me was that i got a little indigestion

know your risks, and be prepared for the risks you take.

Yay! Killer pictures! You look like youre having a BLAST!
Im in a similar boat as you. Unemployed, new to the game, but thankfully I have a pretty decent GPSr in my phone, because I'm nowhere near as smart as you, and wouldn't have dreamed of trying to tackle this without!
My wife smiles and nods politely when we are out and i make a quick side trip to stumble through the bushes blindly somewhere for 20 minutes, though Thing One and Thing Two tend to enjoy hunting afterschool, so long as the area is somewhat interesting, and we manage to nail things down in a fair amount of time.
Anyhow, from one nub to another, rock on!

Just the fact that you asked makes me think that you are not entirely comfortable so I would say find a buddy.
I'm inclined to agree with this statement. If you feel sketchy being there alone, be somewhere else.

For those who don not know what that means, it is something along the line of "the only thing this cache provided me with is more more to my cache count" and is also considered nothing more than an insult. I don't care how much I dislike a hide or another cacher, IMHO that is sinking to a level I will never go to.
Oh sh...
I just had to go back and edit a post I made a little while ago that included a +1, along with a rather complimentary write up.
Just goes to show you, a compliment in one culture is another cultures insult.

The funniest part of this is how excited the kiddos get over some of that stuff. Our first find had one of those cheap party favor plastic frog clicker things in it, and my 6 year old was THRILLED to grab it. When the wife and i reminded him that he still had half a dozen of those left over from his bday party two weeks prior, he didn't care even a little bit, because it was the treasure that HE found. Later in the day, he found a Spongebob Happy meal kind of thing. Elated, again.
It's just awesome to see Thing One and Thing Twos excitement over things we wouldnt look twice at.

Indeed it does! We have been using our MyTouch 3g for the last couple days. Generally it gets us to 15-25 feet from GZ, though sometimes a bit farther.
There are a few Geocaching apps available for the MyTouch, though two in particular seem to stand out. GeoBeagle is free and does the job quite fine, though its a bit rough around the edges. Being newer to the game, we decided to go with GeoDroid, which is a bit fuller featured and more newb friendly than GeoBeagle.
Have fun with your MyTouch! I've had both the G1 and the MyTouch, and theyre both killer phones.
