bRING IT! I can chew thru that in five minutes!!!! Try geocaching with 2 jacks. We could try tieing them up with that chain, but if a squirrel suddenly runs past, all bets are off If you tied 2 jacks together, would they cancel each other out? or would be more of an exponential thing? Ever combine flames from two different candles ...

Jacks need a lot of exercise. Why not take up Flyball or Agility? I often am able to do a little caching at the parks we compete in. In fact, I looked again for a cache this weekend at a flyball tournament in San Diego , that I again, could not find. ,when it had been found recently. I agree. We've taken our dogs to 3 levels of Obedience classes. Our next step is Agility. We start later in the Fall. To give them exercise we take them to our local park twice a day and let them chase a ball or frisbee. I'm the only one who gets exercise from geocaching ... which isn't saying much for my fitness level.

That's pretty cool, but I think I'd need about 4 more jacks to pull me.

Looks like we have something in common. Our first dog passed away 3 years ago as well. She was also the inspiration for our team name.

Right now as a newbie I prefer the medium and large size caches.

Just posted this vid in a separate dog thread ... but seems to fit here as well. This is our bike setup with our dogs. I guess technically it's a 4 wheel setup. Video - cycling with Jacks Just purchased a garmin 62ST with bicycle mounts. Haven't installed it on the bike yet. I'm hoping it's relatively solid.

We have 2 Jack Russells that are a tad energetic to put it mildly. Both my wife and I go out on our caching adventures which makes it a bit easier to handle our pups, but it's still difficult when we're bushwacking through thick bush/forest. We need to keep our guys on leashes, or they'll chase anything that moves. Invariably the dog wants to go under a branch that I'm climbing over, or vice versa. Makes it much slower to find the cache. How do you manage your pups while searching for the cache? Here's a video of our bike setup with our jacks. This predates the start of our caching, but it's how we're going to get to many of the cache locations. Video - cycling with 2 Jacks

6 out of 8 is impressive ... especially if you're new to geocaching. I'm batting .50 in my last 4 tries

It's surprising how much exercise you can get from geocaching. Yesterday I was tromping through some seriously overgrown bush. By the time I spent 20 minutes crawling, ducking, jumping ... I was drenched. After all that effort, I didn't find the cache ... but I got some exercise

Sounds like a perfect job to combine your hobbies. I also enjoy biking and will be looking to combine biking and geocaching. I purchased a bike mount for my gps unit so I can use it for a bike computer measuring distance, speed, etc.

I hear your frustration. I spent a considerable amount of time this afternoon, first climbing down a steep hill with plenty of thorny bushes to slow my decent, and then bushwacking my way through seriously dense bush/trees. I swear something grabbed my leg at one point. My GPS showed that I was right on top of the cache, but it was no where to be found. I managed to leave the area with a 6" gash on my leg dripping blood (yes I shouldn't have been wearing shorts). But I'm still looking forward to my next cache
