How do I view my profile the way other cachers see it? Everytime I go to "My Account" I see a list of my finds, etc. but I want to see the tabbed view everyone else sees. - Confused

I'm a noob to geocoins. I have a coin I would like to activate for viewing only. Do I just state that in the description or is there something more I need to do? Then what? Do other cachers email me to see it or arrange to meet me at events or something?

Well, we're back! I would like to thank the Traverse City area geocachers and those of you who provided suggestions in this thread. We had a great first experience geocaching! We found all six caches we set out to find. Most of them were just Doug and I but we managed to get our wives to come along on a couple. We'll keep "easing" them into it! Let me just add, the old state hospital grounds in TC are "very challenging terrain" for us flatland NE Indiana folk! But we managed, and also moved along three travelbugs! Thanks again!

That's what I ended up doing. I've got coordinates loaded for six of them - Welcome to Traverse City; Fort Knox Geocoin Vault; A Doggone good cache; Waypoint Kid's Travel Bug Motel, Cazzino and Spa; I'm Rather Afraid of Trolls; and Al Quacka and Kong. Hopefully we'll be successful! This will be our first geocaching experience and I'd like for my wife and our two camping friends to have a lot of fun so they'll want to do it again! Thanks for the reply!

My wife and I and a couple friends are going to be camping in the Traverse City area and would like to try our hand at geocaching. Another friend is loaning me his GPS unit so we can give it a try. Does anyone in the Traverse City area have any favorite caches they would like to recommend? We would like to stick with easy to moderate since we are newbies; same for terrain difficulty. Thanks!
