hey, KSvenson8907 - you're doing better than we are. We set out to find a 1.5/2 today and failed miserably. Walked away from that one thinking it was our GPS app on the phone. Came home and plotted two more 1.5s -- failed at both of those two. I just don't understand what we're doing wrong. These were our very first attempts and it feels like such an enormous let-down to not find them.

 

Then I learned that 69 people had previously found one of the ones we were looking for (talk about rubbing salt in a wound) -- all of whom loved it -- and all of whom said it was fairly easy. WHAT GIVES!?

 

I don't know where you are, KSven, but I hope you get over your slump and find some noob-friendly caches soon. I also hope I find some, because I feel like a doofus failing at three different 1.5 difficulty level caches.

 

le sigh. I'm right there with you.

 

Keep me updated - I feel like your success with help me find the motivation to keep hunting.

 

I know exactly how you feel!! The one that I was trying hard to find every person in the activity feed said easy cache. The only reason I have found so many is because I watch two little kids find one before I started. So most of the park and grabs I have found are in the same place as where these kids found theirs. I have only found 3 that werent in this common place. I have been in areas with no cell phone service all day so I havent done any caching today. I am in Iowa right on the Mississippi River. I will keep you updated. Thank you so much for your support.

Thank you so much for all the support. I am glad I am not the only one.

I am new. I think I have found 7 caches. I was really excited when I found the first couple pretty easily. Today I tried to find 3 different caches and I couldn't find them. I read the descriptions and hints a million times, I looked through all the activity log entries and I STILL couldn't find them. I feel like my app on my iphone is not working properly, but it is probably just me. I am starting to think that maybe geocaching isn't for me--I bought the app though. Is there something else I should be doing? I only use my app on my iPhone. I will get on the computer to look at cache near somewhere I am going. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!!!
