I got excited today when I looked at the yahoo website and Geocaching was number 8 of the top ten searches forthe day.

I was wandering thru a wooded area in Sarasota Florida, at the Seista Key beach, when a young man, Man I sounded old just then(I am 32) asked me if I was a Biologist. I replied yes that I was looking for abandoned Alligator nests to tak back to my lab, and he went about his business without asking another question.

That point about the liquids is really good. I hadn't thought of that. I used to hold cachers to a higher standard but someone made the same point that they are just like everyone else. I never really thought about it but that is a good point about my hand sanitizer, I may have to rethink putting those in there. I trust myself, but I am not sure I would trust it if I found one in the container. But I also don't do real well with germs in the first place so that alone would keep me from touching a strange bottle Instead of a bottle of hand sanitizer, you could leave some antibacterial wipes. You can get a travel pack of them for $1 at Target or a box of 24 individual foil packed ones for about $3.50. There you go I have found a new item to leave, as soon as I get rid of the last of my germex bottles i'll be purchasing antibacterial wipes for a dollar, thanks

A guy I work with always talked about geocaching, and I mentioned it once in passing to my wife, I wasn't really interested, but I was making conversation. A few months later, she saw a GPS on sale, and mentioned we should try geocaching. We bought it, and 87 caches later she hasn't been on one hunt yet. But My son and I enjoy it

Generally what I do with travels bugs in my caches, is I take some out when I go on trips, amd then I replace them with new travels bugs when I get back home. That way I keep travel bugs moving from my containers

I always leave a small container of hand sanitzer when I find a container. I figure its more useful than a burger king toy

I always leave at least one bottle of hand sanitizer

I dont have a picture of it because, I never have my camera, but My first micro container I made was a receptacle box with a light swith, and receptacle, I placed it outside near a water feature at our church on a standing piece of electrical conduit , so if the a muggle see it they wont think anything of it. I will post a picture when I get one heres a link and then the fish could see

I am testing out a cache/puzzle(maybe) idea wanted to get some opinions on this idea, ther few people who have done them around here seem to like them. The view from a cache 1 the view from a cache 2 the view from a cache 3 the view from a cache 4

n my backpack I have 25 bottle of hand sanitizer(my signature item) 1 pair pliers a screw driver set 15 micro containers 10 log books 20 or so pencils and pens 1 pair of binoculars 1 notepad first aid kit bug spray poison ivy cream a few "what is geocaching" papers a word lock a pack of baby wipes 1 pda for paperless caching and a gps(sometimes) and probably a couple other things
