Donnalee007 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi everyone, Can anyone recommend a good book on geocaching for a beginner? I'm looking to start soon, and have a ton of questions, Thank you, Donna Quote Link to comment
+Cowboyatheart Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I understand your want of a good book, but I feel most all of the info you could want is right here in these fourms. If you google "geocaching" you will find more info the you can read in a month of sundays plus one website can link you to ten more. Start searching and reading and come back here and ask questions about anything you don't understand. Quote Link to comment

+wkmccall Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I was about to recommend that book also. It's a great way to get started when you don't know what questions to ask.. Quote Link to comment
+Colonial Cats Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I was about to recommend that book also. It's a great way to get started when you don't know what questions to ask.. I third that. The Idiot's Guide is about as close to a Geocaching Bible as you can get. Quote Link to comment
+2Trailblazers Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I agree with cowboyatheart My dh and I are newbies, and when we started, we read the forums, and chose less difficult caches. Save your money to buy swag (things to put in a cache). Quote Link to comment
GigiKay Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hi! We're brand new to geocaching as well and the book Ambrosia (I think!) held up was *extremely* helpful. I read through the book playing with our new GPS at the same time. It made our first day out way fun rather than frustrating. The book covers a lot more than just how to operate your GPS - more than I would ever have thought of on my own. Gigi Quote Link to comment
Donnalee007 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Thank you all for your help, I have some reading to do now, Donna Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm quite partial to Geocaching: Hike and Seek with Your GPS, but then I had a hand in it (even though I'm not making any more profit). Quote Link to comment
