kc7ones Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Need help getting this hobby up and running. Everything from working my gps (bushnell onix 200cr) to caching in general. Any clubs in the Gainesville GA area? Frustrated. Thanksgiving fun has fizzeled.............. Ken Quote Link to comment
+bobandrobin Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hey kc, I can't offer any help with the Bushnell but I'd bet someone will be along shortly who can. Seems to me there are a lot of cachers in the Gainsville area, I don't know of a local club- try here. You'll learn a lot just going through old threads on this forum. Lots of helpful folks here!

+The Blorenges Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi Ken, welcome... There are regional forums for different areas of the USA. Have a look over in the South and South Eastern USA section and see if anyone more local to you can help out. There might be a geocaching event coming up soon - They are always a good way to meet your local cachers and get some advice and help. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Cowboy Camper Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Howdy, Ken. I still consider myself a Newbie too, even though I've been in the game for a little over a year. My apologies if this doesn't seem to be of much assistance, but I'm just gonna be honest in my answer. First, keep checking out all of the resources at the geocaching.com website. There really is a ton of things to just read over and glean information from. You might also consider this book. Idiot's Guide to Geocaching I found one at a local bookstore, but it's also available at the site by following the link given. You're already familiar with the forums here. (or, you're getting into it at least....) This here "Getting Started" is also a great place to learn from. But in total reality, I just got into the game by getting out and doing it. I was told about all of this at a Camping Forum I used to co own and just went on from there. I bought a GPSr at Walmart and started trying to find the caches that I found on line that were close to home. After that, I started to pick up on the information provided at the site first and recently became active here at the forums. A little catch phrase I like to use to advise others. "If I can do it, Anyone can!" Good Luck, Ken. I'm sure you'll have a great time when you start to get into it some more. I know that I have! Quote Link to comment
+SkellyCA Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 There's really not much you can get from a book that you can't get from these forums. It's really not complicated. The most complicated thing is using how to use your GPSr Quote Link to comment
+Headhardhat Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Want to learn all about Geocaching? I have about 40 videos on You Tube called GeoSnippits. They are geocachiing tutorials that will get you started in no time. I have viewers around the world that tell me how much they helped them everyday. http://www.geosnippits.com Enjoy! -HHH Quote Link to comment
