How to find new hides

[+86n99]

We started doing this around Christmas time and find it a good way to get out and do something together that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

We have noticed that many of the FTF are by the same people in our area. We do not wish to be FTF cachers because we are having fun doing what we are doing, but we were just wondering how they do it. Is there a way to search for new caches in our area? Thanks.

Since you are fellow CONTROL agents, I'll tell you the secret to getting FTF: set up cache notifications (a benefit of being a Premium Member), and as soon as new caches are published Agent 86 will get a call on his cell phone.

As a premium member you can set up notifications to be emailed to you when a new cache is listed. FTF hunters have these emails go to their smart phones and then run out to get the new cache.

 

You can set up notifications here: http://www.geocaching.com/notify/edit.aspx

Those of us without smart phones rely on a computer to get notifications.

 

You can also search for NEWEST in your area by clicking on the link on the right side of your page: Search for Newest in.....

I said SHOE in my head and still managed to type CELL in my original post. Duh! Thanks for fixing that.

It was all 99s fault.

 

Thanks for the info. We are starting to plan our first hide. Maybe in the next month or so we'll get it done.
