Good idea. I have noticed the more you loiter the more they "look" at you. I'll have to let my kids in on the "no expression" if and when we are in a busy area. THANK YOU TO ALL!!!

I like that idea. I'll have to bring my camera the next time. I mean, there ARE things that are worth taking a photo of....the beautiful scenery! Thanks!

that's why I posted how to look inconspicuous...I have 3 (teens) and I just though we looked sorta "out of place" I'll do those other suggestions too: GPS up to ear, etc. Thank you all for the help. Now I don't feel so..... out of place. I'm sure once we get going on these we won't feel that way.

Well if you have the coordinates of the park and you plug in the coordinates, then it will give you the caches nearest to that point. If the page doesn't show any nearby, it's not listed with geocaching.com. Likely the alleged caches in the park will be listed on another listing service. AH! That makes sense. Thank you! I've only been told of geocaching.com site. I'll have to check the others then. *can you tell I'm new at this??*

I would never have thought of doing that...(trash picking). The second question I had, with your answer of "hide and seek a cache", well, I've tried that. It doesn't help. Thank you, though, for the first tip!!

How do you go searching for caches without being too conspicuous? I've got 5 people with me and I don't want to look too eager...excited, etc. AND.... If someone has told me there are caches in a certain area in/around my town how do I locate them? I have the coordinates but there was nothing listed on the site as to "here are the coordinates to this cache".
