+CaptHarm&Sweetlamb Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 We just started Geocaching and found that we LOVE it! We have gone the past two weekends. We found a travel bug (did not take it) this weekend but did not know what it was until we came back home. We are very excited and want to do everything now (geocoins, travel bugs, etc..). Is there anyone else around the Vincennes area? I found out you can't wear shorts and crocks to geocach in, so I am investing in a good pair of hiking boots. Do you all ever get together? Does anyone do the letterboxing? I am interested in that as well. Is there a place you all recommend to buy geocoins? We can design our own right? Am I asking enough questions yet? I work at Ouabache Trails Park and haven't looked for the ones there yet, my husband and I are going after those next week. Please be careful on the RR Tracks you wont hear the trains until they are on you. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+daggy Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hey, guys and welcome to geocaching. Sorry it took so long for someone to respond to you. We were busy finalizing plans for the Indiana Fall Picnic that was held last weekend. Sorry you missed it since it was a perfect opportunity for you to meet a lot of geocachers. You can check it out at GC19ZEH. If you're interesed in attending next year mark the weekend after labor day on your calendar. Although, I'm not sure who caches in the Vincennes are, there are a lot of opportunities to get together with other cachers. Many of us travel quite a bit throughout the state to cache and to attend events. Click on the My Account section on geocaching.com. Then go to Set Up Notifications. You can have geocaching.com send you emails when an event is in your area. TrailMix is also an event that is in different locations every few months. The premise being TrailMix is a group of cacher with all levels of hiking and caching skills getting together to hike a trail. There are cachers of every shape, size, age and skill on this trail. We all hike together. It's not about the speed or ability but about the people. Next TrailMix is GC1EW27. Hope to see you there. Caching in Indiana is wonderful and the people are fantastic! Got to go to work but if you have any other questions, I will be glad to help. Daggy Quote Link to comment
+Cpt.Blackbeard Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I attended Vincennes University, graduated 1990, and I loved visiting Ouabache Trails Park. I would ride my bicycle from my apartment at 2nd and Hart to it most days, and sometimes I would walk the up the RR to it and back, about 5 miles one way. I wish I were still in shape to do that, but nice to meet someone from the park, welcome to the sport. Quote Link to comment
+The Incredible Geocachers Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I find it interesting that you signed up in October 2002, but are just now starting. There are quite a few cachers in the Lawrenceville, Bridgeport, Sumner areas. Also some from Patoka and Princeton. I live outside of Eville. Make sure you bring your GPS when you come down to this area. Lots of quick caches on the way down. T.I.G. Quote Link to comment
