+phox Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I bought a GPS a few years ago for no apparent reason, just for hiking, biking, etc. not even knowing something as this existed. Then I stumbled upon this site a few weeks ago, and I am ADDICTED. I found my first cache a little over a week ago, and now I am up to 10, YAY. I can't even believe there are so many in my area, cuz we don't have much of anything here in Northeast PA. I'm looking forward to trying to find every darn cache out there! Thanks to everyone who turned this into what it is now Quote Link to comment

+reveritt Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hello, and welcome. If you are into outdoors sports, then there is plenty to do in NE PA--and much of it can be combined with geocaching. Quote Link to comment

+Airmapper Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Welcome. Now everywhere you go you must check to see if there are caches there, and if there are not, you will change your route so you can find some. Quote Link to comment
+CSI:CacheSceneInvestigators Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Welcome, I agree with Airmapper. I always map my trips so I can find some caches. Your hooked!!! Have fun. Quote Link to comment
+crazyone Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 One of the best hobbies that i have found, where it don't matter what your skill levels are and you can find a level(cache)that can do in any geographic area. Here, you will find the friendliest people either on the trails or on the website and they will help you learn the ropes and in no time you will be a pro. Good Luck and welcome to the group.

+phox Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 Thanks for the welcomes! reveritt: There are plenty of trails to ride & hike, a lot of which I have. Just in a few weeks, though, I found a few more gems that I've never been to, practically in my backyard. Plus, theres the "hunt" now, that just makes it so much more interesting Quote Link to comment

Thanks to everyone who turned this into what it is now Northeastern PA, can easily be described as 10,000 micros on every street corner. The farther you get towards wooded regions you will have better hides that will get you out hiking, mountain biking, etc. I personally know a few of the better cache hiders in your area, and have some of their caches on my "to do" list.

+tls11823 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just in a few weeks, though, I found a few more gems that I've never been to, practically in my backyard. That's what got me hooked. Our first search took us to a place near home that we never would have known about. Plus, it's a great way to explore an area when you're out of town. Enjoy!
