+llatnek Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi, James- Welcome to SC, where you will find friendly caching folk all over the state. Where in SC are you located? We have a statewide organzation, the SCGA, as well as multiple local/regional clubs. I'm located in the Midlands and I would be happy to help you out if you're in this area. Likewise, I can put you in touch with some friendly folks in whatever part the state you live. Semper Fidelis, Ken Quote Link to comment
+llatnek Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Where in SC are you located? Oh, I see: Summerville, located in the Low Country. The Charleston Regional Cachers meet monthly (Monday the third is the next one - see GC1HFGN). I'll send an email to a couple of my friends down there. Quote Link to comment
CoyoteRed Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Here the link to the next meeting which is TONIGHT! It's very informal and anyone interested in all forms of geocaching is welcome. If you're in Summerville then you're next to a couple of caches designed for the beginner: Azalea Park Cache and "Christams-y" Tree. Both are nothing fancy, just straight forward, classic caches. You might want to skip the rest of ours in the area because of difficulty until you get a better hang of the hobby. Quote Link to comment

Thanks James Good luck! Ive been caching here since 2001. Great state to cache in! You have a taste of a lot of different topography to cache in. Since youre in the low country - you have the beaches and the swamplands. But within a three hour drive you have the foothills of the appalachians (SCs highest point is around 3600 feet). The urban centers are clustered with caches, but try to get out and about and find some in out of the way places as well. There are several good ones around MUSC area. Since you're just starting out, you may want to get a copy of the delorme atlas and begin the delorme challenge. If you travel around a bit - this is a good state to do. Interstates will get you to all the far corners without much trouble. With gas being cheap again - its worth the trip to work on and learn about your state. Quote Link to comment
+bamasnake Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 James Welcome to the Lowcountry. The best part of be a geocacher in the Lowcountry is there are TONS of historical sites and locations that geocaching will take you to. I have lived here for 10 years and my partner all his life. We started caching a couple of years ago and have visited a lot of cool places in the are that we did not know existed. Although we don't cache often, we tend to do it in spurts. Good luck with your hunting and feel free to email (through my profile on geocaching.com) if you have any questions or need any help. Bamasnake a.k.a Wade Quote Link to comment
+SgtSue Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Welcome to SC, James. After you learn your local area use caching to visit the other parts of the state. Lots to see and do. SC Parks are some of the nicest around and most have at lest a few caches in them. Using the County and Delorme will help push you to explore all areas of SC. Look for some of the group adventures to Bradley's Bottom and Ellicott Rock, always lots of fun. Quote Link to comment
CoyoteRed Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 He's moved to FL and hasn't been on the site since November. Quote Link to comment
james.w.lane Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 I am sorry for me disappearing, I run my own business and I took a several month project in Florida. I moved back to Summerville and I am back in the Geocaching game again. I will try and attend the next meeting and hopefully link up with some people also. Quote Link to comment
