It's very exciting!

I got my first cache hidden just in time for the town market day. A couple of people have found it and the reports say they liked it.

 

PHEW! I'm so glad, cos when you are new to something and you're amongst folks who have 1000+ finds, you tend to get a bit nervous.

 

I'm all fired up for my 2nd hide now. WOOHOO!

 

I feel worthy of the title "geocacher" now.

Good for you, I have 1000 finds and have hidden over 50 caches. I love getting the Found and DNF e-mails as much as finding caches

It's always nice when that first person finds your newly hidden cache...congrats!

I've made one hide, but it hasn't been found yet. I think it's because no one in my area caches with kids.

 

I hid a micro because my caching partner is my 11 year old son and he doesn't like micro's because he can't trade anything in one. So, I put a travel coin in there and something else and asked that an older kid find it. It's not an ALR as those are unacceptable now, I just wanted to make it fun for another kid my son's age. It's been posted for about a week now, and no go.

 

It's not a quick cache and dash either. I put it in a park that my son, our dog and I frequent and in some areas it's a hard walk. So that might be against me, too!

 

As it's my first hide, I'm anxious to hear about it as well.

Good feeling isn't it? Giving back a little bit.

 

A couple more hides, then you decide you should get a bit more devious. Makes it all the more fun, as those that like the "hunt" appreciate it all the more!

 

CONGRATS!!
