gargoyle725 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 hello every one, my name is Caleb and I am brand new to this. My brother told me about it and checked out the site and thought WOW this would be a great family hobby. My son is nine and wants to give it a try, but he gets frustrated easily. So I was wandering is there anyway to tell if a cache is an easyier one for a family of newbies to find. We live in clearwater,flif anyone has any tips for the area. Oh all I have is a Garmin etrax legend with no additional software, I do use it alot for basic navigation mainly marking waypoints for waverunner trips. thanks again I am looking forward to lots of fun searching, Caleb Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Welcome to the Forums! On each cache page, there is a rating for Difficulty and Terrain. There is also a designation for Size. When you are starting out, it would be best to look for caches that have a Difficulty of less than '2' and those that are either Large or Regular in Size. Quote Link to comment
+stepshep Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) Okay I looked through a list of caches in Clearwater, Florida. After reading through them, the past logs, and taking size+difficulty,terrain into thought here is a list. Out of the first 20, one was a webcam, 17 were micros, and 3 were small. (I smell Micro Spew...j/k don't hurt me) Here's your list: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...77-271a966f45b9 This one depends on your math skillz: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...30-b926d9d163ea http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...de-56b70a97d9b9 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...30-f5326a223b85 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...73-31e33bd74944 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...88-783ebda3689f http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...18-6d3ab2828f51 It seems there are many great caches in Clearwater, most are just micros (so probably no trading). They also have quite a few MOC caches, always nice to see. Welcome to the Forums and Happy Hunting! Edited July 14, 2007 by stepshep Quote Link to comment
