I wanted to start this topic because I was intrested in how many of us geocachers have been approached while we are hunting down a cache. I just started caching a month ago and have only 20 finds. I live in Southern California so lots of our caches are in the urban city setting. I have been approached twice so far while I was looking on the side of buildings for a cache. Both times the person asked " can I help you?" Both times I said oh I'm just looking for something. Each time the muggle said "Can I help you find it?" I then told them I'm doing this thing called geocaching and both times the person said "oh ok I know what that is. You can go ahead and look." So far they have been pleasant about it. Does anybody have any funny stories or horrible ones? I'm sure not everyone out there knows about geocaching and I'm curious to know what experiences the community has had out there avoiding the muggles. Post your horror or awesome stories below. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I have been geocaching for about 3 weeks now and am totally hooked. I will be getting a premium membership when I can to help support this fantastic hobby. I'm looking for friends on this site that we could send emails to each other and talk about geocaching. I feel like a loner since most people I talk to about caching think I'm nuts ! Add me as a friend if you are intrested. It would be cool to get a group of talkative catchers together to talk about our hobby! Looking forward to receiving your friend requests!

Thanks for the info! I'm really enjoying finding the caches. So far I have found 6. Searching for them has giving me ideas on how to hide my own. I'm thinking of hiding one next week. Once again, thanks for the advice!

Hey everyone, I just joined the site yesterday and found my first geocache right outside my work and I am officially hooked!I feel like a secret spy uncovering clues. I'm looking forward to years of playing. Any hints or tips the community could give me as I am just starting out would be great! I live in the Orange County area in Southern California. Looking forward to uncovering more caches!
