+fizzgigger Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi guys, we've started geocashing in houston texas and we've gone to 4 places, we can't seem to find anything! They all are within almost walking distance of our apts and have had containers but we've have yet to find anything. Help, what are we doing wrong. There is even one that is so obvious - the name of the building is cache but we can't find anything!!! Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 keep trying, the size of the container is always worth noting. why not try searching for a larger container out of town? with a low 1/1 rating. that or go onto the local forum page and try to get adopted by a local.. keep searching Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Its likely that you might be going after micros. Start with regular sized caches, Quote Link to comment

+Jhwk Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 1. Use the compass screen versus the map screen. Tells you where to go and how far left to go. 2. Rather than trying to get to the 0 point on your GPSr (basically standing on top of the cache) stop about 50 feet from the expected location. Then stop looking at your GPS and start looking at your location. Look for the obvious clues to the cache location. Piles of sticks, rocks, dead hollow tree, or stump in plain view. Don't forget to look at the size of the cache you are looking for. Nothing like thinking you are hunting a regular sized cache, when it is actually a micro-cache. 3. Start out with the easiest dificulty caches (D/T). So go for the 1/1 to 2/2 caches first. 4. Have fun and enjoy the great weather... Quote Link to comment
