Thanks Chief. That info about cell phones is exactly what i needed to know. I'll look into that waypoint averaging app. Also, I've heard about the Frisbee rule. Just wasn't sure how widely followed it was.

I'm looking to hide a few geocaches. I already have done most of the work regarding designing and hiding them now I just need to go through the process of activating them. I'm having a little difficulty however in two areas. First, I don't really understand who to go to in my area to ask for permission to hide a cache. All the caches I'm interested in hiding are on public land. Most are urban caches. One is on a bridge, one is on a railing on the sidewalk near a parking lot, and one is on a parking sign on the sidewalk. Who do I contact about these? I live in Seattle, more specifically the area I am hiding them in is between the Central District and Capitol Hill. I have tried emailing two reviewers of caches nearby but have not heard back yet. Second, I am using my cell phone and the app radar for all my geocaching finds. I don't really have any desire to go out and buy a handheld gps. I currently am averaging the waypoints I get from my cell phone over a period of days to determine the cache location. Will this be an acceptable way of determining the location of the cache that I can post for others or do I need a more serious GPS unit? Thanks, Erik

Hey thanks guys. This was exactly what I was looking for. I just joined the facebook group and will be checking out the WA geocaching website. Also looking forward to the block party. The HQ geotour sounds cool. Is that something you pay to go on or just a series of caches to do on your own? Erik

Hey, I'm new to geocaching. Looking to go out with some people in the Seattle area who have some more experience. Did a little looking around on the geocaching HQ facebook page and forum here but couldn't find any groups. I figured there would be lots considering Groundspeak is based here in Seattle. Anyway, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks, Erik
