+chuckwagon101 Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Found our first find today! Sweet little camo bottle at a park! I got the Explorist 200 last week and learned how to use it on this forum. What a bunch of helpful people! I have printed off A BUNCH of coordinates for towns within 60 miles of me in the North Texas area. Now, if our gas money just holds out...........!!! Chuckwagon Quote

+TeamGuisinger Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 If your gas money runs out you'll find yourself settling for hamburger instead of steak. Welcome to geocaching, I hope you find as much pleasure in it as we all do! Quote
+cudlecub Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Gas money? You'll love finding the Where's George bucks. I had accidently left my wallet in the car while doing some urban caching and ended up picking up enough WG$ to get a McLunch. Quote
+Robespierre Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Congratulations and welcome. If you ever find that lone star, put a t.b. tag on it and send it along. Quote
+psychrn Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Yes your fun is just starting for sure. Other challenges for you-trying to get the FTF, Multi caches, as many as you can get in one day, those darn puzzle caches, your 1st TB and many more. Good to get out and about isnt it. Chris NZ Quote
+Seawind Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I've just got my 100th find, created 4 of my own caches and launched 2 travel bugs. It really is getting more and more enjoyable. One of the best things for me is I can combine it with another passion: bicycling. If you are into cycling at all, get a handlebar GPS mount and try caching by bike. It's a blast! Quote
+Tonylama Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Congratulations on the cache. Enjoy! You are now part of a really cool sport and a great community of people. Quote
+Gecko Cacher Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I got my first and second FTF last week and now find myself on a "high" to get more. It's so bad that even if I wake up in the middle of the night I get up to see what has been posted. Now that my geo wife and I have different user names we figure we have the geo site covered 24 - 7. Are we addicted? Nah Got to go something came up on my email Quote
+SunnyWalker Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Hey, you folks sure make me excited. I am a "lurker" I guess and have been studying geocaching and gps. In the past I had a Sportrak Pro but sold it. I am currently saving for an eXplorist and will start my geocaching career asap. Thanks for the encouragement and way to go on your first "find". Sounds like real fun. -SunnyWalker Quote

gerboa Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 A lot of people get started before they have a gps. Overhead photos are accurate enough to find most caches. Some cachers find hundreds and never touch a gps When I suggested this..I was roasted, we also have spot on digital maps, so plus the hints the gps can often be dispensed with..this is why I prefer to set puzzles.
