hi all, just a newbie here and all my friends think i am crazy but i have become addicted to geocaching some of the caches are a bit, not so safe to go to on your own but i am still keen to go, is there a way of hooking up with folk in your local area being that we are all so 'secrective' about what we do.. :huh:

I would suggest that you place a 'watch' on all the caches that you have found. When you get the e-mail that someone found it, go see who it is. Send them an e-mail saying congrats and that you found it also. It is a nice ice breaker and a great way to make new friends.

 

See the below log - We all do 'stupid' things alone at times.

 

Be safe - have fun

thanks Watchdog2020, there is one cache that i am keen to do but when i go there i realised it was too dangerous to takle on my own, but i am still keen - i will have to wait to do this one another day...

 

One thing you can do is become a voracious log reader of caches in your area. It's pretty easy to get a sense of who the local cachers are and since every log has the date, name (as a link to their profile) and number of finds for each geocacher, you can get an idea of who the other geoecachers are in the area with a similar number of finds, and thus might have the same caches on their "to be found" list.
