Oh yeah, Oh yeah, I got my first caches today, woooohoooooo!

[+screamin'eagle]

Today was my first day out with my new unit I bought (Garmin etrex legend cx) and I think I got the hang of it. Man o man, this thing put me ontop of each and every cache and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be, soooo much fun.

I have read where people have had issues with their gps not getting them close or would say that it was far off and wasn't, my answer to this would be to stop and let the thing determine where and how far, worked for me awesome.

I found 4 of the 5 I set out to find, and the last one I would of got to but the snow would not allow me to get that far . I will get it when the snow clears.

 

Well, I think I am hooked on this sport most definatley.

 

Thanks to all the experts here that help us newbies get started. All the information I read here was very informative and helpful during my first day at caching.

 

Thanks again,

I have read where people have had issues with their gps not getting them close

 

Wait, those days when the satellites are not quite right for you will come!

Just remember the fun, and if you can't find it this time, you will next time.

 

Congratulations!

Congrats on your new unit and the 4 out of 5 finds. I remember my first, which was not long ago, and I still get excited with each and every one. Cache on!

Congrats. I'm having issues with snow too. I'm waiting for the snow level to get below a foot at least (maybe even all together gone).

Thanks everyone, I can't wait to go out again. Maybe tomorrow durning my lunch break

Congrats man. Me and my daughter started yesterday and got 8 out of 9. We found 2 that our gps said we were 50 and 68feet from. We were in the woods and it was cloudy. I'm assuming that's what was causing it, but either way, we found them! It's definitely exciting.

Glad to see another cacher addicted. I've found the forums and the cachers I meet all very helpful. You're on your way to your 100.

Thanks everyone , going out again right after work today now that it stays a bit darker later.

[+BDstarcachers]

Very excited for you! It is addicting.

 

You are entering the secret world of Geocaching for those at

work will be asking after you return from lunch,

 

"What's that in your hair? a stick or a leaf?"

"Your shoes are a bit muddy, where in the world where you?"

"What's that on the back of your pant leg, dirt?"

"Your jacket has pine needles stuck to it"

Not sure if I will be doing much at lunch since I wear a shirt and tie at work. I would come back to the office not looking to savvy .

 

Can't wait until 5pm, got it all mapped out.
