c(e2e)< 0 Posted December 28, 2012 So I just looked into this the other day, and decided it is definitely something I want to try out. I went out for the first time today, to three separate cache sites, and came home empty handed. I was just wondering if anyone has some tips for me to help me get started with my first find. Also, does anyone know of a good place to find a geo-buddy? I would love to do this with other people, but don't know of anyone else who might be interested. If there is a forum or something for hooking up with fellow cachers, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance for all your help. never stop DREAMING Quote Share this post Link to post
c(e2e)< 0 Posted December 28, 2012 I suppose that would be pertinent info, huh? I live in the NW suburbs of the twin cities in Minnesota. Quote Share this post Link to post
+Morgue 0 Posted December 28, 2012 Check out the Minnesota Geocaching Association website to find a local cacher to team up for some finds.... http://mngca.org/ Happy Geocaching! Quote Share this post Link to post

c(e2e)< 0 Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks, I did check out that forum, which doesn't seem to be quite as lively as this one, but hopefully I can get hooked up with some cachers in the area. Of course I was all excited to go out this weekend, but have now come down with stomach flu. Maybe I'll find my first cache on the first day of the new year! Quote Share this post Link to post
+Tri-Chick 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Are you on Facebook? The MN geocachers assoc page is very active and full of twin cities cachers like myself . Be sure to watch for Breakfast Buddies events. You can meet a lot of fun cachers at those. Quote Share this post Link to post
+Team Dennis 2 Posted January 2, 2013 I know it is a bit of a drive from the NW metro but there is a Geocaching 101 event in Hudson, WI, on Saturday January 19th. Quote Share this post Link to post
+msrubble 28 Posted January 3, 2013 There's also a pizza event in Princeton Saturday after next (the 12th). It'd be a good opportunity to meet other geocachers and maybe pick up some tips. You can learn a lot just by listening to cachers swapping stories. Quote Share this post Link to post
