  1. I had heard about geocaching from a previous employee but didn't really understand it then. Last summer, however, my mom gave me a Garmin Oregon 400t and my sister encouraged me to try it out. The first time out was so frustrating that I put the GPS up and promptly forgot about it till last weekend. Got taken out (again by my sister) and actually made the first find. Decided it was an awesome way to get out and explore your surroundings (we all know how we take for granted the beauty of our own locales) as well as a great way to get outdoors exercising. Bought a couple of Geomate Jrs. for each of my daughters and am excited to learn more. Marcell
  2. Hello from Alaska! My name is Marcell. I bought a GPS last summer (a Garmin Oregon 400t). Trying to figure it out, however, proved to be very frustrating! SO... geocaching got forgotten about until this past weekend when my sister and her family reintroduced it to us with the Geomate Jr. I found my first cache in Willow Resort and had so much fun. I am now very excited to begin again. Not only is it so much fun, but it is fantastic exercise. You get outside, walk/hike, and don't even really realize you are doing it. My only complaint is the darned mosquitoes here! They are laughingly called our "state bird". I would love to "meet" some of you here- and would be thrilled to hear from anyone here in Alaska. Thanks for reading and I look forward to learning more! Marcell
