Looking for a family to cache with

[KingArther]

We are somewhat new to geocaching and very new to our GPS unit. As a result we are seriously challenged in knowing how to get what we need from the GPS unit. We do not know many members and would love to meet another family to go with... especially if they have elementary school age kids and know how to use a GPS. If you and your family would like to team up with us we are Kingarther.

a good way to meet cachers in your area is to attend local events

 

if you search, there may be one for the upcoming 10 Years of Geocaching celebration, on may 1st or 2nd

I'd say OK, but I'm even further away than t4e... but in the same country... not the USA...

 

Two things jump to mind... I see where you are through some research... you should fill in your profile to say approximately where you are... Mine says Elkford BC, which is my town and province... t4e is from Kitchener ON, etc. You don't have to be even that specific... county and state would do... This is one big continent and a bigger world for sure. I DO NOT suggest giving home address etc.

 

Having said that, there are also country and regional forums further down the GSForums main page...

I know there is one covering your home region (from your caching history).. NC is some nice country...

pardon me if the mountain areas are not quite our Rockies, but in their day... I was partial to the Asheville area at one time.

 

That would be a more productive group to search / advertise yourself in... and this might migrate over there after a while...

 

Any how Good Luck hunting... this is a good area for general questions. Lots of opinions and facts.

As the others have said, an idea of your location is a big help!

Geocaching is truly international, so visitors to these forums can be based anywhere in the world.

 

I'm in England, UK, so can't offer any easy help, but good luck with your quest.

There are US regional as well as individual country forums. It may be best to post there to find someone near by to cache with. Another question is " where are you???" My family and I would love to cache with you guys. We are in Western NY. If you happen to live here, we can do it. If your are Nevada, Argentina or New Zealand, we may have trouble arranging a meeting. Give us a clue where you are. If we knew where you are, it would be much easier for a local to find you. We don't need a street address but a general location would be a great help. Happy Caching!!!

I like the website meetup.com, you can search for groups by interest, try searching for "geocaching" If there's no group in your local area, start one! Before long you will have a few members, and then you can plan a geocaching trip somewhere to grab a few caches as a group.

By all means get to your local event for 10 years of Geocaching Charlotte (GC25KFW). On May 1&2 attending this event will get you a special icon on your found page. I am sure you will meet a lot of cachers there.

I have updated our profile to include location. Thanks to all who alerted me to this missing information.
