  1. We are about a dozen cahces in now - going pretty much every evening when we take the dog out....loving it! Best hobby yet!
  2. I hear your pain! I bought miine on ebay and am patiently awaiting its arrival. I tink I will check out the online manual...
  3. Wow - this was interesting. As I said, I am new to geocaching (in fact awaiting the arrival of my etrex in the mail so have not even started!) so I was wondering the policy most people have on this. I like graveyards, and I don't mind people who enjoy them as long as they are mindful that they are not all just historical places. I liek that some people use them to teach history to children - those are the kids I think will be less likely to tip over a grave stone or something in the future. I guess it woudl be like any other private property and if their policies are followed and consideration for others is given then it would be OK for some. Seems to me that geocachers are fairly thouguhtful about what they are doing and where, anyway!
  4. Hmmm...well i do not think that graveyards are places that are off limits. I visit my garndparents, and stroll around, seeing other people related and not. And I don't mind a stroll through graveyard where I do not know anyone there - but I am mindful of the purpose of this place. I don't think they are scary or ghoulish palces - we all die, that's normal. I think I see them as places where others have chosen to put the remains of their loved ones, and with no small measure of thought to their final place on earth. That's why I would hesitate too enjoy any hobby there.
  5. I just purchased a GPS and am very excited to start geocaching - however when looking at the caches near a place I was thinking of visiting, I saw one in an area I am familiar with - the graveyard where my grandparents are buried. The landmark for the cache is unmistakable. Is this normal? I don't see graveyards as grim horrible places, or as places that are so consecrated you must never take them lightly, but I would like to think that if I or anyone else were there visiting the grave of a loved one - and maybe having a quiet moment - that it wouldn't be disturbed by people engaged in a hobby, no matter how enjoyable. I don't think I would be comfortable geocaching in a graveyard - only because these are not just stones in the ground, they are someone's family. I dunnno, just seems to me there could be better places to geocache.
