+hikergps Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Addicted at 1st sight, eh? Happened to me too, went nuts waiting for my GPSr to arrive. Welcome! Quote
+DarkBeforeDawn Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 We love it too! I always liked being out in the woods, now this gives me more excuses to do it. Had to wait a year before I could get my GPSr, drove me nuts! Quote
+LarryGC Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 I'm brand new to it also. I got an Explorist 500 because I wanted a GPS, didn't think I'd want to do this geocaching stuff, but I wrote down 2 in southern NJ where I was going to be camping. Just wanted to see how this Geocache Manager worked. Couldn't find the first one, but found the 2nd. When I got home I registered so I could log it. I found my 2nd one yesterday, and have printed out some Benchmarks to go looking for. I can't afford to go running around though... figures I get my GPS a few days before gas SKYROCKETS. Quote
+TEAM RETRIEVER Posted September 11, 2005 Author Posted September 11, 2005 Well, I do a lot of hunting and stuff, so I'm lucky enough to already have an Etrex Legend. Love it, but never thought of using it outside of hunting! Now the kids are really pumped up! Quote

+humanloofa Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 I ran into a group on a trail while hiking on 7/10/05 bought my first gps on 7/19/05 hit 100 finds on 9/11/05. This hobby is not addictive at all. Quote
+Team Red Oak Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) Welcome to our wold! You'll find you never have enough time to cache. I wish I could cache all day long but I have to work, and on weekends I have to do things around the house so I don't have nearly the amount of finds I would like to. I know I must find them all, and I know I can't find them all in just one weekend so this is an excercise in patience for me. But I'm not at all addicted!

+Frodo13 Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 We found our first 27 with internet maps and a good compass, waiting on a slow eBay shipper. There are several who are approaching 750 without GPS. Welcome to the addiction. Quote
+Jeep_Dog Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Quick, QUICK! Somebody radio the mothership! We have another convert! Enjoy the hunt, and back very slowly away from the forums, and you will be just fine! Quote
