ExplorerMike Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Today was my first day geocaching and I went to a place that I've never been to before, even though I've hiked close to it many times... so I guess my goal would be to find new and interesting places with the help of gps. However I also like going where nobody has ever gone before, so I like to find my own places too. Quote Link to comment
+geoSquid Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I don't have a particular goal other than to get out of the house more. geocaching helps with that. Quote Link to comment
jamieb520 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) I've thought about this question quite a bit lately. It seems some cachers are hell bent on raising their stats in some way. Some people are out for pure find counts, some collecting types of caches or trackables like geocoins. Others want as large of an icon count as possible... So what is your "geo-goal"? Or do you have one? Mine currently is to visit all Canadian Earthcaches. I'm 2/50 so far, and hope to knock off another few very soon. Cheers! BC Tripper If all you want to do is raise ur numbers, then go log ones that you haven't found, probably like allot of cachers have, I've seen lots of people on here with like over 1000 finds, some allot more then that. I mean like if they really found that many thats all the person would do all the time. There have been lots of reports of people going to look for a cache, not finding it, and logging it as a find anyway cause they found the park that its hidden in. I started caching a few months ago and I've only found like 27 so far. I've gone looking for allot more then that, but I really don't care what my numbers are on here. I've read logs of the cache owner removing someones 'find' listing cause they didn't follow all the 'rules' in order to log the find. All that doesn't matter to me, I didn't get a GPS for the purpose of geocaching, I geocache cause its fun. Thats what my goal is, to have fun and find new places that I wouldn't have found otherwise. Stats matter to allot of people, not to me, I could care less what my stats are. Edited July 9, 2006 by jamieb520 Quote Link to comment

You are just having way too much fun with that picture... My new goal will be to discover and hide caches in all the poison ivy patches around C-A's house! Seems I must be immune to the stuff...

+The Blue Quasar Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 That is gross.... I mean, who has floor tiles like that anymore? Thank goodness we didn't see the panelling on the walls and the harvest gold fridge and stove. The Blue Quasar Quote Link to comment
+TOMTEC Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I mean, who has floor tiles like that anymore? What you got against parquet floors? They are all the rage in these new trendy condo developements! Now those look-alike Linoleum tiles... don't get me started on them! TOMTEC Quote Link to comment
+StillwaterSearchers Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 My goals are to reach 10 finds and my first ever hide by next Friday (July 21). We've only bee caching for 5 days and we've logged 5 finds so far so we'll make it for sure! I am also really looking forward to finding our first TB! Quote Link to comment
+Galaad Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 By the end of the year: - empty out Algonquin Park - find a total of 1000 wonderful caches - hide a total of 10 caches (I'm not very creative and the world does not need another lame cache) Quote Link to comment
BC Tripper Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Just a quick update, I nabbed another FTF earthcache last week. I'm now 3/50. Also got my 300th cache BC Tripper Quote Link to comment
