Its not that I am very scary looking, I guess just more sensitive to it because of the geosnippets vid. If the location was out in a public park I wouldn't have thought twice about taking a walk through there at noon on my lunch break. This seemed like a private play area behind a church with a rectory right next door however. (residence for clergy)

I was in the same boat! I became aware of Geocaching because we bought a a Nuvi for Christmas. We intended to use it (and do) in the car for longer trips or unfamiliar routes. When I tried using it for geocaching i realized that the nuvi was not suited for it. I found my first 15 or so caches with it, - but its harder to navigate offroad with and the battery is not intended to be untethered from the power socket for long. I also was paranoid about dropping it and damaging the touch screen or gunking up the data or power ports with dirt.

OK, Headhardhat in Geo-snippets is very clear that most geocachers would look pretty suspicious nosing around a playground. Cache: GC1VJ80 is such a cache that made me very uncomfortable hunting for without my kids in tow. THis cache also is on church property and does not indicate if permission was obtained. Anyone else see this as a problem? I don't see a specific prohibition against playground hides in the hiding guidelines, unless its near a school. Am I missing something?
