+Slablog Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I already had a used GPS V that I use on my bike. Someone gave me the geocaching.com web address and I made the mistake of going there! It took 2 visits to find the first small traditional cache. I've just logged my 9th! I lurk on the site now at odd times. I can't wait for Saturday to go out hunting. My GPS is now with me at all times. I have paper notes with coordinates and odd geocache puzzles scribbled all over them. I'm shopping for a backpack! What can I do? Quote Link to comment

Buy one that has plenty of provision for spare batteries and pens, and prefereably incorporates a drinking water bladder so you dont get dehydrated whilst riding to find the next cache!!!!

+SeaLevel Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The only safe thing is to send me your GPS and bike attachment. I'll save you from yourself. Quote Link to comment

+Big Max Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Give in and have a GPS chip and flash memory chip implanted in your brain. It'll save a fortune in batteries. Quote Link to comment

winston24 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 A few years ago we started camping, got hooked. Join GLPUC made a lot of new friends that way. Lately we have noticed that during the campfire talks that everyone was having, we were slowly sitting there with nothing to say. Everyone was talking about geocaching. So when we came home from one of the last campouts, we immediately got on E-bay and got us a Garmin e-trex brand new for 47.50 and 6.00 shippng. We found 4 without it cause we couldn't wait for it to get here, now were closing in on fifty. The madness is very addicting. But we love it and now are working on a few to hide. Madness, madness has taken our family over! Quote Link to comment
+Slablog Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) All good suggestions. I thank you. It sounds like I may be terminal. In any case, I now have 17 finds in 3 weeks and this morning I logged my first FTF. Yes! I got the email and rushed out early this morning just beating the other guy by a mere 20 minutes.

What is an FTF? and if any one can help, I don't seem to be able to "set home waypoint" have the book in hand. would like to attempt my first cache in the am but feel totally inadequate by not being able to do this!!

+hikergps Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 FTF is first to find. I see in another thread that you have the home waypoint issue resolved. Quote Link to comment
