TEAM RETRIEVER

Just wondering if there is a magazine for this hobby, since all other hobbies seem to have one! LOL!

Okay, another rookie question... I downloaded EasyGPS and have saved some waypoints. How do I re-name a group of waypoints? I've got about three "geocache 1" listings! When I download from geocache.com, it automatically names it like that. Still playing around with it, so be patient with me!

Thanks for the input everyone!!!!

Gander Mountain had the Etrex Legend in a package deal (included some topo software and the pc cable) for UNDER $200! I would seriously check it out. I have a Legend and while I'm new to geocaching, I love it for hunting, fishing, hiking, etc.

I'll be sure to report back after Sunday, you can count on that! LOL!

Forgot to ask this, but besides the GPS, what type of things do you take along on when geocaching? I mean, do you take a backpack, walking stick, food, etc.? Man, the best thing about this sport (okay, not the best but definitely a plus) is how cheap it CAN be!!!

My daughters are ages 7, 10 and 15. They're all REALLY excited about the whole thing and can't wait until Sunday. I think our team name will be "Team Retriever", as we're hoping to get a golden retriever soon. Of course, the pup will become a team member and mascot (smile). Plus, we're obviously going to be retrieving stuff. The possibilities are endless! My mind is racing so fast trying to create new ways to excite the kids and have fun. My wife is getting excited too, but she's on to me. She knows that I'm a big kid and I'm doing all of this stuff for me too! LOL! C'mon Sunday!!!!!!!!

LOL! Sorry, I'm a non-kilt wearer, but this thread is funny! Oh, and unfortunately, I look somewhat like my avatar. D-oh!!!!!

LOL! Just checked out the buttons. Great idea! Thanks!!!!

Okay, I need some ideas. I'm new to this and have yet to find go looking for a cache. I've explained the game to my wife and three daughters, and now they're all excited. We've set this coming Sunday aside as our first day of Geocaching. Before that happens, I want to create a team name and some basic "rules" for everyone. I'm going to make the kids "official" id cards on my computer, give them nicknames, etc. What does everyone out there do to make it really fun for the kids? Any geocaching rules on creating a team name or anything?

Okay, I just downloaded the Easygps stuff. Thanks gang! Now I just need to learn how to use it! LOL! Have no clue, but will play around with it....

I've got an Etrex Legend and am just getting started with geocaching. What kind of software should I consider getting and why? Thanks!

Well, I do a lot of hunting and stuff, so I'm lucky enough to already have an Etrex Legend. Love it, but never thought of using it outside of hunting! Now the kids are really pumped up!

Buddy told me about this geocaching stuff last week and have been doing some research on my area. Never knew this stuff existed! This is AWESOME!!!!! My family and I are excited to start finding local caches. -Jameson
