+SirDonB Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 ok, so I have been geocaching for about a week or so now, found 10 caches by myself and with my kids... Have looked for a few more than what we found. Is there anyone in the Rensselaer, East Greenbush area that would like to team up with a newbie and show him the ropes? I know I have a lot to learn and I will take some slack from using a smartphone to geocache with, but its all I got ATM. If I ever get into it deeper than what I am now, I will consider a deticated hand held GPS unit later. Right now it is not in the cards for me to have as part of my asinal. I also do some light off roading with my Jeep, so if you know of any caches that are 4wd friendly, let me know, I might be game for a small drive to get one. Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Check the calender for any events or Geocaching club meetings you can attend. Do a google search for any Geocaching organizations in your area. Also ask this same question in the region specific section of the forums. You may get a better response there. Quote Link to comment

Yea, there are a few organizations/clubs in the area, but my only problem is that their meeting schedule and my personal schedule dont work out with each other. I am looking to meet up with a couple of local people that have been geocaching for a little while that can show me some of the finer points to it all. Quote Link to comment
+SeekerOfTheWay Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Another option is to directly email cachers in your area. Check the logs, find a user, and send them a direct email. I know almost no one in my area uses the forums much. I've had cachers email me to cache. It's fine that way. Quote Link to comment
