Justin Of Terrytown

I am just getting into the Travel Bugs. I like attaching the travel bugs to key chains (I will try attaching them to different things in the future). I am looking for some ideals that I can use for the mission. The missions I have used so far is 1) to visit as many different parks as possible 2) to travel the world.

Sometimes I use my cell phone, sometimes I use my GPS (etrek 10 but I am looking at upgrading), and sometimes I use both. My cell phone will not work everywhere so that is one reason I have a GPS.

I have heard that some people collect Geocoins. If you collect them, how do you store them (in a box or what)? If you collect them, are you suppose to enter them into Geocaching.com with the tracking number?

Since I live in a tourist town, a lot of the swag that I use is touristy (poker chips from the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club, golf balls from the World War 2 Museum, stuff from the Angola Museum, keychains, est.). A few weeks ago, I found a geocache with not a lot of swag in it. So I left a trackable, a world war 2 museum, and a poker chip from the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club.

There is a cache at the entrance sign. I drive thru Slidell when I am going to visit my parent's fishing camp in Bay St. Louis, MS. The next time I am in Slidell, LA, I am planning on finding that Geocache. So thank you for letting me know about it.

One of my trackables mission is to visit as many parks as possible. I am going to laugh if that trackable ends up at a nudist park.

I am not a nudist but I wonder if there are any Geocaches at Indian Hills Nudist Park in Slidell, LA (the closest nudist park near my house)? The reason I know that the nudist park exist is due to the Times-Picayune article As nudism fades in Louisiana, one campground nakedly perseveres

I always buy my stamps at Stamp-Connection.

Here are some YouTube videos that may help you: Go Geocaching YouTube page

Is there a Geocaching flyer that I can hang up at coffee shops or give to friends? I know in the Southeast Louisiana, some of the coffee shops have bulletin boards that you can hang up flyers. I would enjoy being able to hang up a Geocaching flyer to help promote Geocaching.

This video on YouTube gives some good information about hiding a Geocache.

Bicycling is my main hobby to help me lose weight. I lost about a hundred pounds so far. I still need to lose more weight. Geocaching has helped me lose weight or at the very least, help me keep it off.

I would love to meet up with you and Veterantributes. I have only met one other Geocacher (at a cemetery oddly enough) so I would like to meet some more.

I don't carry a bottle of antibacterial with me but between my job and Geocaching, I always wash my hands before I eat.

This video Geocaching.com Presents: Travel Bugs might give you some more information about trackables. Also want to check out and

Thank you, thank you and thank you. With your post, I was able to get my GPS to work.

For swag, I have used throws from the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club that I belong too. I have also used stuff from local museums (example: golf balls from the National World War 2 Museum).

Thank you. I was able to download a geocache. Hopefully it will fix the problem for good

I am trying to download Geocaches to my GPS (an Etrek 10). For whatever reason, the Geocaches will not download to my GPS. This is the furthest I gotten.

Laughing at rereading this post I made about a year ago. A year later and 110 Geocaches later, I am still Geocaching. I am glad I did not quit this hobby.

I wonder if he is just an extreme Geocacher or if he works odd hours for him to find the Geocaches at the time? One of my friends is a bartender. When we go out for breakfast/dinner (my breakfast, his dinner), we usually meet at IHOP or the Waffle House at 4AM in the morning.

I know with my other hobby, Where's George, we had a few Where's George Cruisefest. I hope that one day, there will be an Geocaching Cruisefest.

I am going on a cruise in April (information below). I am thinking about doing some Geocaching while in port and am wondering if any other geocachers have been geocaching while on a cruise? If so, do you have any advice for me about Geocaching while in port?
