Yes, i did. I started out without a GPS and looked into every map on the web i found that yellowpages map and bing map took me right to the spot (birdseye view) and i found another site that found the coordinates to an address and i copied that to another site to where you could move the marker and get the coords to a TREE, it helped me place my first 2 caches. One finder said "coords dead on!" that really made my day. Some caches are just off the path or very easy to find in that case we have just went out without our gps. Happy hunting!

Well congrats to you. And many many blessed years!

Yeah, what's up with that. Someone needs to invent a banana safe. I can't count the number of times I've reached into the bottom of my backpack to find banana goo all over and into everything. Ick. Otherwise, bananas are a nearly perfect trail food. I did a lot of long bike rides (85+ miles) on a banana, handful of raw almonds and half a Clif bar, until a few years ago. i have packed my banana in a pencil box-protected it well

anyone from the mason city/ clear lake area want a travel buddy let me know. i am new to geocaching and would like to go to this but really dont want to go alone. find me on face book Naomi Olson and add me as a friend but make sure you let me know your a geocacher so i wont ignore request..

I just made these i may have put too much info on them but oh well i like them and they were fun to make- i hope they travel. ohh gez cant find how to post picts on here- you can check out my id chai_latte for the picts, sorry

I JUST MADE UP SOME ID COINS THEY ARE NOT TRACKABLE JUST TO LEAVE IN MY HIDES AND MAYBE BE TAGALONGS TO SEE HOW FAR THEY GET

i use yellowpages.com/maps and geocoder.us --- and itouchmap.com/latlong.html the yellowpages one you click on birds eye and zoom in and it takes you right there geocoder will give you the coordinates for an address wile itouchmap you can move the marker and get the coordinates..

Hubby and I are new to geocaching, and so far we just visited the ones here in town when we both have that day off so -with 3 finds under our belt (6 no finds) we got to thinking about the junk we see in them that we dont take but wondered what else we could just leave for someone. I have been leaving these tiny .5 oz bottles from the hospital of hand sanitizer that i have been reading that ppl have been taking - probably to use since your out and about and cleaning your hands is a good idea. another good idea im going to do is because CITO is huge, why not get a roll of small garbage bags and fold them up very flat and small and placing in some sort of small envelope with "garbage bag" written on it. I think that a USEFULL item i better than a plastic ring. Because i have no life, im thinking of making our signature item as CHAI_LATTE just that - anyone heard of the craft project that you mix a slice of bread and some white glue that makes like play dough and shape it into a small cup and saucer. let it dry and its much like porcelain- and painting "latte" swirls on it. Cute huh?http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/style_images/1/folder_post_icons/icon4.gif
