I am a newbie. I set up my account 14 months ago and went out twice....then didn't do it for 9 months. (Go ahead...rant away) But I really enjoy geocaching. So I have started getting back into it. My biggest issue is I don't really have anyone that I personally know in my area that is as interested in it as I am, and I don't want to go alone. Anyway, I LOVE it when I find an interesting hide. For the most part I find medicine bottles tossed under trees. I have seen a couple of very neat ideas that I may use sometime in another area, but I am just now in the process of placing my first hide, so I am starting easy. I have two questions for you:
1. Do you find if you see a hide that you want like and you place another hide similar to it in the next town over, do folks get nasty with you about "you stole my trademark"? And I am just referring to conatiner or hiding location...not the hints and puzzles used.
2. What are some interesting hides you have found along the way that you remember for more than 5 minutes after you drive away?
Thanks,
[and please if you aren't going to be nice, just don't respond:)]
