New Cacher in Tennessee....Where's Yoda when I need him?

[+ElleDeGee]

Hello...My name is Racheal. I'm brand new to Caching as you probably already know. And I've noticed today that I've managed to possibly pass by 2 other Cachers this morning on my adventures. But the reason I'm posting this is I don't know anyone who caches. And I was wondering if I could find someone who can teach me so that maybe one day I can cache on my own. Kinda like a mentor as you would say. Is there anyone interested?

Hi Racheal and welcome to Geocaching.

 

You can take a look at the lead topic in this forum for a list of local organizations, one I would suggest is http://www.getgc.org/

 

Tell Katie aka Better Half I said Hi! and don't take anything BBB says seriously.

Hi, just wanted to welcome you to geocaching! I hope you continue enjoying it for a long time.

 

I don't think I've ever passed any possible geocachers and, other than the person who introduced me to this, I know I have never met any unfortunately.

 

But anyway, again, welcome to the club lol.

You might try checking to see if you have any local geocaching organizations near you.

everyone that I've met at ours has been more than willing to help a new cacher.

Thank you all so much! I'm starting to kinda get the hang of it. But I think I'm going to do a couple solo in the next week because my boyfriend and my friend keep stealing my caches. I find the coords and put us right at it and then before I can actually look they jet past me! Not too fair! Hope to meet other cachers soon!

Hope to meet other cachers soon!

 

Do you ever plan on coming to the Mississippi Delta area, by chance? If you do, however unlikely, let me know and if you want, maybe we can cache around here together.

Hey Rachel, welcome to the obsession.

 

I see you live in Maryville so you would be in the Great Smoky Mountains Geocaching Club area. I live up in the Nashville area but browse their forums a bit and have met a few of those guys out east. I even had one of them publish a cache so I could get page 46 of the TN Delorme Challenge! So I think you will find plenty of mentoring out of that group.
