kiltedcelt67 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi, newbie here. I've been reading up on geocaching for a little while and have a friend who is into it. Anyway I've got a GPS unit ordered and should get it this week. But I was researching local caches and found one very close to my house, so I checked the location on google and knew exactly where it was. Walked over Saturday and found my first cache, a micro! I didn't have a pen so I'll have to go back and sign the log later. Now I can't wait to get my GPS so I can really start looking! Quote Link to comment
+simpjkee Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 WooHoo!!! Congrats!! I remember my first cache. It was only a month and a half ago. Since then I can't stop thinking, sleeping, eating, breathing, dreaming, geocaching. Good luck on future hunts. Quote Link to comment

kiltedcelt67 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thanks. I've already got several more planned, just waiting on my GPS to arrive. I've even looked at some for this weekend when I'm out of town. Quote Link to comment

sesameellis Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I found my first one today as well using the google map (since my husband will not share our new GPS just yet.) Fun! Quote Link to comment

Teleman42 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hey All! I too just started up this week. I have found 5 so far, but I would have a lot more if I didn't have to sleep or go to work. My wife says that I am obsessing, but I don't care! I am addicted! My first find was SO EXCITING!! Good luck to all my fellow newbies! Quote Link to comment
+StingerT125 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Another newbie here. 5 finds so far and am looking foward to finding many more. After I get the hang of it I will start thinking about placing some. Congrats to all the newbies and thanks to all the experienced members for helping us all out! Quote Link to comment
booksmart_streetdumb Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hello, and congrats on your first find! I only started a week ago, and I don't have a GPS yet, either. Isn't it kind of like discovering this big secret you never knew?! It's so fun to be a part of! Quote Link to comment

+ScarabDrowner Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 yet another newb here. first signed up on the site back in '03, but finally got around to getting a gps. Found my first two caches today, came back home to recharge my pda, and I'm about to head back out again for more . Quote Link to comment
+eyesofice2us Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Congrads!!!! on your first cache, now what you have to look forward to---> This may be a little off topic but--- Does anyone know of a caching RE-HAB center? It has made me broke-(gas cost), Run up my credit cards- (buying swag & coins, units, PDA's) I need rehab and will admit it. Just send me the Cords and I will find it. (and any cache hides along the way) Quote Link to comment
