TimtheEnchanterr Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hello all! I've been caching for almost a year with just my wife and I. We would like to see if there is anyone in the Knightstown area that would like to go caching with a couple of greenhands. Also, I am wanting to find someone with a GPS that can help me hide my first cache and show me how its done. I've just been zooming in with the google map satellite picture and going by memory with decent success. Hopefully, I will be able to afford on someday Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+lakedawgs Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 It's too bad you JUST missed the Indiana Fall Picnic! It was held this past weekend at Boondocks Farms in Knightstown. There were lots and lots of folks there that would have been more than happy to help out. Be on the lookout for more local events -- there are a lot of them (we're event junkies around here! LOL). This is probably the best way to meet some local cachers. Quote Link to comment

+Jenischmeni Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Hello all! I've been caching for almost a year with just my wife and I. We would like to see if there is anyone in the Knightstown area that would like to go caching with a couple of greenhands.

Like Lakedawgs said, there are a lot of events scheduled in the Indianapolis area. Each month, we hold GIG (Girls in Geocaching) dinners. These are not restricted to girls attending, we welcome all. The October dinner is the next GIG dinner (hosted by yours truly). It's on 10/25 at the Carrabas off of Southport Rd. at 465. on 10/10, there are three different events going on in the Indy area. Two flash mob events and a lunch (hosted by Lakedawgs). All of these, and more, can be found on the event calendar which is accessed from the home screen at Geocaching.com. (Down near the bottom - click on the link that says "View the Event Calendar".) It's not unusual for cachers to band together to seek out some caches after an event. It will also give you opportunity to meet up with some experienced cachers to see how they do it. Edited to fix a stupid typo. Edited September 29, 2010 by Jenischmeni Quote Link to comment

Never knew it existed At risk of sounding green, what the heck is "flash mob?" Quote Link to comment
+Jenischmeni Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 That's not an odd question at all!! A "Flash Mob" event is where a whole bunch of people descend on a particular structure or area for a very short period - just long enough to organize and take a photograph of the group. They're usually about 15 minutes long. Quote Link to comment
