+golfdiva Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Finally! I found one. My gps walked me right to it. All I had to do was reach up and take it! So, I guess we can assume my gps is working fine, and I'm following it correctly. Now I just gotta learn how to look. I couldn't stop there and just enjoy the moment though. I had to go looking for the other one that I tried and failed twice. Unfortunatly, still no luck! And somebody found it right after I'd been there! Quote Link to comment

+El Diablo Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 As you go along they will get easier to spot. As the sport has evolved over the years the creative hides have kept pace. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
+ZingerHead Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I found a cache today that used a mirror, a magnifying glass, and an ultraviolet light on three different stages. So cheer up, it's only going to get worse . Quote Link to comment

I found my first one today too. 6th one I have visited, 1st find. Just seeing that first one taught me a ton. Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I've been checking your original thread where you said you were giving up and quitting hoping to see a post from you there saying you had decided to keep trying. Glad I found this thread here. Grats. Quote Link to comment

+reveritt Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Be patient, be persistent, be calm and methodical. Don't expect the gadget to get you closer than 15 feet. Use your eyes and brain to spot liekly hiding places. Quote Link to comment
+golfdiva Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Thanks everyone, and congrats to you too Navarone! Also, posted on the Michigan geocaching bb and found someone to take me hunting next week. We're gonna work on the one I've tried 3 times (she has already found it). So that has me a little more geeked up! (still like golf better though! LOL) Quote Link to comment
+globalgirl Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 And always remember... If we found each 'n every cache, each 'n every time - why, we'd be BORED out our skulls in no time!! Quote Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I was hoping that the definition would appear in some of the posts of this thread, but it hasn't -- so I'll just admit my ignorance and go ahead and ask. What does "to cabbage patch" mean? Quote Link to comment

What does "to cabbage patch" mean? it's a silly little dance...I think it's the one where you extend both arms in front of you and work them in a circular motion...you'd have to get soem oen to demonstrate....
