If you see other cachers at a site, are you supposed to stand back and not interfere, join them and possibly make new friends, go away and come back later or what? This hasn't happened to me, yet, but I saw it on a poll and I didn't really know the answer. I would like to meet other Geo Cachers, but not if it will be thought rude.

My sister told me about it two years ago. I checked out sites to see if there were any caches in the area, and was delighted to find quite a number. I kept trying to justify the money, then last winter I was snowshoeing with my daughter and girlfriend, and we got a little turned around, nothing serious or dangerous, but enough of a justification for me to purchase a unit. Then I got a cash gift from my office for Christmas this year and I made a B-Line to REI. I found my first cache the next day. I hope to GC for a long time. I thought it would be something to give me an excuse to get outside, now I'm chomping at the bit for some of the snow to melt so I can get back out there.

Interesting stuff here, thanks all for posting. I was using my GPS on January 2nd, recording a track. And there is a blank stretch in the track on the map. It recorded the waypoints and kept them, but I noticed even as I was walking that the track wasn't being recorded for a short distance, then it started again. Could this be related to the solar flare activity referenced here?
