Since I am new to geocaching, I have only traded two times 1) the first time, I left an Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club doubloon. 2) the second time, I left an Irish Channel Marching Club koozie. I most likely will continue using the throws for my Irish clubs as trades. I am also thinking about buying some golf balls from the Angola Museum (museum for The Louisiana State Penitentiary) and the National World War 2 Museum to trade.

I found five geocaches today. Two of them that I found today were the ones I could not find on Sunday.

I am new too geocaching and I made my first trade today (An Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day doubloon for the silly putty). I will not always do this, but I did enjoy placing something "local" in the cache.

I found my second geocache. I am glad I am sticking with it. I have learn that for me, it is better to use my GPS AND my cell phone to find the geocaches. Sometimes in the future, I might only use the GPS or the cell phone. But other times, you might see me using both.

Have any geocachers been question while geocaching? Just in case somebody like the police questions what I am doing, I am thinking it would be easier for me with my speech impediment if I keep a print out of this flyer about geocaching. Is that a good ideal or a bad ideal?

I am going to treat this new hobby like a brand new restaurant. If I see potential in a new brand restaurant, I give it a few months before I decide if it is great, good or bad. Give the restaurant a few months to work out the bugs. Since I see potential that I will enjoy this hobby, I am going to give it a few months for me to work out the bugs. Two of the caches are near my church. So I will look for them again on Thursday (Holy Day of Obligation for us Catholics) and if I don't find them on Thursday, I will look for them again on Sunday.

I went geocaching at Brechtel Park (tried finding four geocaches) and near my church in Algiers Point (tried to find two). No luck. And now the two near my church, it appears that I am the only one that could not find them (I even look for one for over 45 minutes). Now I feel like an idiot for not evening finding one of them. I am beginning to doubt myself again about if geocaching is the hobby for me.

Also, try running a virus scan on your computer. There was a virus on my computer that prevents people from downloading stuff on my computer

I actually went back and tried geocaching today. The geocache that I did not find yesterday, I was able to find today. I am going to go try to find some more this weekend. I think I am going to stick with this hobby. There are a few caches in one of my favorite parks (Brechtel Park)

I just ordered The Complete Idiot's Guide To Geocaching to help me learn about geocaching.

I been having the same problem. I have a etrek 10.

I finally tried Geocaching today. Got a new GPS for Christmas (an etrek 10). Nothing went right. It took me over four hours finally get the GPS to allow me to download geocaches and it takes me four attempts to download one cache. I finally went to try to find a few geocaches and could not even find one. I am sure that geocaching is a great hobby for a lot of people. I thought it would be great for me since I was raise outdoors (I mean, I been hunting and fishing since I was five years old which means I been fishing and hunting for 25 years). But I was wrong. This hobby will not become my new hobby. I regret even trying this hobby right now.

Has anybody ever used a Geomate.jr? I am thinking about getting one for myself to use (I am 27 years old) and am wondering if it will be a good one to use.
