darkbulb Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I just started with trying out geocaching as my Nokia N810 tablet has a built-in GPS system and downloading maps on it is really easy. So...I had already tried two geocaches in the area but was not able to find anything.... Tonight I dragged the girlfriend out and we walked about a mile to where there supposedly was a cache... And...we FOUND IT!!!!! I must admit it was an awesome feeling seeing when seeing it It had some stuff inside. We didn't have anything with us so we didn't take any souvenir but we did sign the log. Now..I can't wait to go and try another one Quote Link to comment

+Zolgar Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 My friend Roo will attest to the N810 being a bit obnoxious to try and use for geocaching. I'm guessing if you can afford it, within a month you'll be buying yourself a hand-held Garmin or Magellan. Quote Link to comment

OCD has absolutely nothing to do with it I absolutely and totally agree in every sense. It is fun. Have you logged it yet? How about now? Quote Link to comment

+PegasusAndGoodguy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Congrats! Pretty exciting huh? We're new also, so far only have found 23, loved every single hide, but we haven't really trekked out nearly as mush as I'd like. Hopefully that's going to change this Summer... becuase... GeoCaching is addicting! Put on your seat belt and get ready for a really fun ride! peg Quote Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Congrats on your first find! I remember ours...an awesome feeling! And a great view that I have taken many visitors up to. edit: no mention is made of the close proximity of a cache, however! Edited July 9, 2009 by popokiiti Quote Link to comment
+BigHef32 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Congrats!! I remember the first find I had, as well as the first for my son. Both were extremely rewarding and pushed us to want more and more finds. Quote Link to comment
