PackerTracker12 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I got a Garmin Venture HC for Christmas, joined geocaching.com a week ago and got my first cache today! The only thing preventing me from finding any sooner was Christmas travels, followed by a move to S.D. and the wonderful winter weather on the prairie. I just wanted to make sure I was able to have my first find with my family and the bitter winds have been too much for my super sidekick tracker 2 year old. Well, it couldn't have been a more perfect day! We set out to a local outdoor campus where we were spotted by fellow cacher, she congratulated us on our find and gave us a geocoin to commemerate the occasion...the geochaching gods were smiling on us! It feels like this has been an adventure I have been destined to go on for the rest of my life! It was the BEST first find and I can't wait to log thousands more! Quote Link to comment

+hukilaulau Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Welcome to the game! I started around this time of year 6 years ago and there's no turning back. I hope to add SD, ND, MN and WI to my "found" states this coming May. By then you'll be a seasoned veteran and can maybe give me some suggestions! Quote Link to comment
