I go caching with an old pair of high top Eccos that I paid big bucks at Nordstroms. But, I had them for a few years now. I have about 3 pairs of these they are the most comfortable boot/shoe I have every owned. I used to have a job where I was stood on my feet all day jump on/off a work truck. These boots are really great.. I keep a trash bag in the back of my jeep and change out from my street shoes. It has worked great so far. http://store.nordstrom.com/product/product_brandboutique.asp?styleid=2765018&boutique=boot_shop_men&category=2376778~2372807~2372829~2375603&Search=True

Hey gang, I'm working on planning a big trip driving trip coming up August (can't wait) and I would like to know what are the just you HAVE TO CHECK out THIS caches. I will taking I90 to Montana to about mid states and dropping down through Idaho to Oregon. I'm planning roughly a few days between Idaho and Oregon. Thanks all for you suggestions!!

Hey gang, I just wanted to let everyone know that I enjoy and relish this game that we call "geocaching". I'm just about to my 30th cache on, and I ending a old decade and beginning a new decade in life. Everyone in the forums is most helpful and friendly. The folks that I met out in the field the same. The experiences that we gained you can't put a price on! Thanks again, I can't wait to get my first querie tonight. Go get outside already! hehe

Labtek that would be sweet thanks for the quick response! Let us know how it goes. Good luck

I have MS Mappoint and use excell currently like spyder40 to import pushpins. It would be cool to have this program to work with my Garmin Legend, but then again maybe I will need to add a Meridan to my gadgets . Now only if my g/f will agree. I would think about kicking a few bucks for Garmin support. Thanks

I bought a Legend around Sept and I love its compactablity and design. I may get a Meridan Platinum or Rino series GPS. I heard that Meridan's do better in tree cover. But, I have yet to go caching in a big group. I have run into a cachers VDS, he had the basic yellow one, and he had many many finds so its not all about spending lots of money to find caches. Also, if you purchase a Garmin $50 rebate which I recieved really quick considering I still didn't get my rebate checks from my Christmas hardware. Hope its helps!

Found cache full of pocket knives left handful of MC'D toys. I sadly I agree with Jeremy and his stance.Again I feel that kids who geocache with parents are more responsible and informed then the average kids. The kids who geocache are informed like when I was in the boy scouts and club scouts. But, I get guess we allow our government come up with law and fines to protect stupid/informed people. Otherwise, they would just allow their kids to watch tv til their brain rotted out. I'm outtie 5000 I found some caches with knives.. time for trades.. (hehe) I'm glad I spent all my productive worktime browsing the forums today or I would haven't know! Maybe you send an email to all geocachers cuz this is news to me.

Hey all, I have about 23 caches logged to my name and I'm looking to upgrade my digital camera to record my finds. I'm looking for a mid priced compact digital camera. Right now I'm using a freebie digital camera that I got from Earthlink. I need one that will survive our caching sport and not cost me and arm and leg. Thanks much, Cache on!

Welcome... From another cacher named Mike

Just curious Jerome & Sherry what digital camera did you use to take the pics looks good!

The cooliest thing I found in a cache was a ms wheel mouse on our first cache. We try and put stuff in caches that we find at dollar stores. Small tools, keychains, batteries, gloves, stuff like that.

I would like to create maps of caches that I located and caches that I have yet to locate using streets and trips 2002. http://domination.mi-geocaching.org/map.htm Can someone let me know with easy to follow steps. This may help others. FamilyUnit

sorry work proxy went crazy...

I would be interested to know where the caches are near the gunnery in Boise Renegade. Thanks much

Ok maybe not an AK47. I wanted the son to take a picture of the front but for some reason son was a little scared. He thought they would have thought was were spies or soemthing. We walked up and down the path like 7 times slowly surveying the area. I was trying to convince the g/f to drive down there last night so I can try and find it by myself. I also ran into a cache that was near a State Patrol office. Just my 2cents. FamilyUnit

Hey All, Yesterday my son and I were cache hunting near Everett, WA. It was a multi-cache one of the corrds was near a Naval Base. It was on a path next an entrance to the Naval Base, there stood a few guards one was in a Hummer with a AK47 or other assault rifle. Does anyone think that this is wise to hide caches near such a place in our heighened state of alert at this time?? Or should I have toughened up and got my son and I some bullet-proof vests and poked around the bushes.. (hehe) My son was kinda bummed that we had stop our cache and I was too. But all is well. Made nice dinner chat! See ya on the trailhead!

My son is the type who is great at all video games. I myself on weekend would find myself indoors even during the summer playing around on the computer. Before having my son go on a walk let alone go outside and play was a chore. Now, with geocaching he actually runs sometimes on the trails just to find it first before me! When I get home early or sometimes when he is in school he emails me when are we going Geocaching! Since he is 12 yrs old I try and have him organize the maps printing them out prepare our backpacks. Lately, I had him hold the GPS although that can make hunts fun too [] Unfortunetly, kids these days want to stay indoors and play all their video games, but with geocaching it brings your outdoors and that is so awesome. See ya on the Trail!
