Did you find any on Grand Cayman? Trying to find the coordinates of where the ship docs so we can go from there but having never been there, don't know where to start. We will be taking a Disney cruise there 3-16-13

Yeah!!! I've been waiting and praying and waiting and wondering. I looked like that little puppy in the window waiting for the mailman. But I wait no more. I've been to 15 caches looking for a jeep. They always say they are there, but it's just to taunt me. Well taunt me no more. I have my own!!! (Do I sound like I'm gloating???) Just excited. I promise. NE Montana has "Big Salt River (AK)" Red Jeep Travel Bug

I'm preparing to place my first cache....taking the advice of others, place them and more will come. I hope you all are right. I've worked out the container, the place, the initial swag, don't think I've broken any guidelines, and now I have a question.... I was thinking that for my first cache hide I would like to put in my first travel bug. Is it okay to ask the FTF if they would take my little numero uno on his first adventure....and a first of theirs. Maybe a first cache in a certain city or another FTF for them, or their first airplane ride....something to go with the FIRST theme. I've read about certain FTF prizes, but didn't know if it was okay to make a FTF request like that. Writing this makes it sound so lame....is it??? It sounded good when I had the epiphany a half hour ago. Steph of the Soderquackers

Thanks everyone for some great ideas. 1. I love the idea of a seed cache. I'll have to give that one some brain time 2. Nothing wrong with the Canadian caches. I just haven't made the effort to make it north of the border yet. I plan to. Not sure what the border patrol will think though....but I haven't been questioned by police yet so that would be a new experience ) And what about the rule about not leaving anything in Canada.....should I just not tell them about it??? 3. I plan on hiding my own caches. As I said, I want to get a few more under my belt. I'm learning a ton every cache I find. Learning what I like....what I don't. these forums have given me some very interesting ideas. I know it takes caches in the area to bring other cachers to place them. I just want to have GOOD ones to inspire. 4. I am thinking about a way to get the local boyscouts involved. Possibly as a community service project for the cubscouts to go find. Getting kids involved who would then maybe get parents involved....The thought is gelling in my head....hopefully it comes to fruition. Again, thanks for the ideas. Please keep them coming. I'm not sure I'm up to organizing an event yet. Maybe I should go to one first. I like the doorprize cache give away idea though so maybe it might be doable. I'll have to think on that one and get my gumption up. If you have any other profound thoughts, I'd love to hear. Thanks for the advice.

This is my first shot at posting on the forums so please, be gentle with me please. I am wondering if anyone out there is looking for non-saturated area in which to hide caches. In my area of Montana (within 50 miles of me) there are 9 caches. I have, at this point only found 4, but one is archived and three are in Canada. I am hoping to get my students interested in geocaching this school year, and between them and us hide at least 10 more. That's my goal. This still leaves my family and I without caches to hunt. I know NE Montana is remote and underpopulated, but what a great place to hide some interesting caches. Hopefully it isn't improper of me to come out and invite others to the area to hide some great caches. If it is, sorry. Does anyone else have any ideas of how to get more people interested in the area? I'll do my best with education, but I myself am still learning. I'm learning a ton as I find, but I'd rather wait to hide my own until I have found a few more so I don't hide any lame ones. If interested, from my research, it looks like from Glasgow to the ND border, from highway 2 north to Canada is crying out for your geocaching love. Western ND is even more barren. I would even offer to maintain some of them after I have had the chance to find them if that helps. I just want some more to hunt...PLEASE! Suggestions or comments?
