You could always just carry and camera and say you are a photographer for an outdoor magazine or just tell them what you are doing and try to lure them into geocaching.

Well I use to be in Boy Scouts then left that and geocached with my dad for about 3 months and then stopped with that and just stayed home and didn't really do anything but play video games, but then I moved to CA with my girlfriend and just got back into it and have been doing it avidly ever since.

Also I don't know how much tree cover is where you are geocaching but if you are under alot of trees it will affect your accuracy as well and it will be harder to get a signal.

Hey I found this and it is only about a mile from my home in a canyon, never completed it yet cause the water was to high in the drain off sewage thing, but anytime this summer it should be find. I got the first waypoint, it is just the second that is the hard one to get to, if you ever make it out to San Diego, look me up and we can go together cause my girlfriend doesn't want to go into the whole with me.

I was introduced to geocaching 4 years ago from my father who still does it, but didn't take it seriously until about 3 months ago.

Has anyone heard of one? I couldn't imagine there being one that starts one place and leads you around the world, but it could be possible. I would do it just for the fame in our geocaching community, but I would do it slowly, one waypoint at a time. Has anyone heard of one before?

I feel sorry for the bird that tries to get in, LOL

You can add another to that San Diego list.

My girlfriend are going on saturday, so if we don't make it out of MTRP maybe we will see you on Sunday I am sure we will make it out though and good luck on Sunday.

Exactly what I was going to say, everything can be fixed with duct tape, that is how my cache is held together.

That is hilarious looking. I wonder if it could make any collect calls.

My girlfriend and I both had our favorite caches, it was right by Mt. Solidad in San Diego, there was a gate but we slipped under it and walked on this trail away from Mt. Solidad and it was somewhere not many people go and it was just a great view and a nice walk.

I think it is cheating, you shouldn't be able to log your own cache, I will always right a note if I go back to check up on it and see if it needs maintenance but never would log it, you only place it, how can you find something that you already know where it is, just ridiculous.

I have never had any problems, only been caching with my girlfriend for 3 months now and I think has made things better, except when she doesn't want to go and we just have to stay home that isn't good but most of the times she asks if we can go. So it is good I think.

I would want to hide myself in it and let my girlfriend find and suprise her. LOL

I bought a walking staff about 3 weeks ago, it is 6 feet long and I have been using it and it fits just perfectly in the back seat of my Altima. It is actually a quarterstaff used in Martial Arts but I am just using it for hiking. It was only like 14 dollars.

I saw a geocache on another thread, I think San Diego Critters cache, where it was a fake diamond back rattle snake that was inside of rocks and the cache was in its belly, it would scare me half to death if I saw that.

Well it doesn't really bother me, but for once I would love to have a FTF

Um well go insane, but to ease that I usually start planning a geocaching trip or just go on the forums and read more about it.

I carry a cheap multi use knife and a hand crank rechargable 3 LED flashlight, no batteries, so it is cheap and puts out a pretty decent light for its size.

I've seen a multi cache where the first step had a box full of tiny containers (smaller than a 35mm box). Only one of them had the right coordinates. The rest had stuff written like "not this one", "take another shot", "woo, you missed the right one for an inch". I bet that was pretty fun to do.

Lets see it is a bit of a long story. My dad heard from someone and bought a GPS. I started going on trips with him and found it really fun and that was about 4 years ago and then I stopped doing and then about a year ago my parent's bought my brother a GPS and then I moved to San Diego and I took a trip back to my parents in PA and my bro and my dad went geocaching and found 4 caches and it kind of lured me back in, I came back to San Diego, bought a geocache and have been doing about everyweek.

I will usually use the map and get close to it and then when it hits about .1 then I switch to the compass to direct me closer to the cache, I find the map feature harder to use when I get to close the compass shows which way better I think.

Mostly what I do is if someone looks at my GPS unit oddly I pretend it is a cell phone, because it is about the size and if I get close to the area I need to look for it, I kind of pretend I am fixing my shoe or something, it is hard and hopefully you won't catch any attention.

Yes, we are going to take our GPSr. We are going in kind of a figure 8 and trying to get as many as we can along the way.
