I am new to geocaching and this site.
I got into this because of a few "suspicious" people wandering around at the end of my block with a GPS. They would stop, bend over and look around, and continue their study of their notebook. They repeated this several times before I had to find out what they were up to. I couldn't resist. I introduced myself and asked if they were lost.
After geting a very good education on geocaching, there I was looking through bushes and staring at the notes and finaly we found it... I am totaly hooked!
As you can tell from my login, I am a photographer. I photograph wildlife and scenery, which often takes me well off the beaten path. I use a Magellan Exp 500 to help me.
When I start hiding my own caches, and I know of a few places, bring a camera. There will be something there to see!
