[Bumping into other Geocachers while looking.]

These are all great and fun stories... can't wait for my first run in!

It will happen especially if you are looking for new caches

Walk up to them tell them, this is private property and you are calling the cops.

Then pull out your gps and pretend to dial

 

that's awesome,

 

Thanks for the advice and keep the stories coming!

[Introducing Geocaching to my friends.]

I have had several friends ask me about Geocaching and all of them would like for me to take them on a hunt.

 

I have a couple of questions:

 

#1. Should I introduce them to the site first and have them create a username? Or would it be best if they went on their first search and then decide if that liked it?

 

#2. Should I give them coordinates to caches I've already visited in case they need hints? Or should I go for a completely new cache that none of us have found?

 

Bonus Question: What would make a good first time hunt? A Micro, or Container type cache?

 

Thanks for the advice!

[Bumping into other Geocachers while looking.]

I'm a noob, and this may have been answered before but I wonder if it would make for some good stories.

 

Have you bumped into another Geocacher while searching for a cache? If you notice that someone is looking, what do you do? Do you walk up and join them or do you hang back and let them finish?

 

It hasn't happened to me yet, but I look forward to it.
