Geocaching Friends!

[+Swan_Queen]

Can't believe I am writing this, that I sunk this low, but I am looking for people to Geocache with. Yes, I am a newbie. Yes, there is a lot to learn. Yes, I will get the hang of it soon. But for now, I would love to meet with people, or find ONE person who likes to Geocache & maybe would like to help out someone. Signed up for 2 events in my area, hoping to meet people there. Even sent off an email to some people locally & never heard from them. Just recently, I went 2 places geocaching, where, I should have brought someone with me. Got alittle scary at one point & I am originally from NJ, it takes a lot to shake me up. Now, hubby will not let me go by myself. My parents want to start doing this (they are in their 60's) and they can't go to some of the off the way places I would want too. Anyway. Feel like a freshman in HS or something, like you have to "DO YOUR TIME" before people will reach out to you. Anyone else feel like this, or is there a breech of etiquette I did when emailing people?

Hope everyone is having a great day.

A couple of questions:

 

--where are you located? This is an international forum, and those of us who would be happy to have you join us have no idea how far away you are from us.

 

--unless you include your email address, a lot of folks won't reply to emails sent to them.

 

some of those emails might have ended up in spam folders.

 

--events are the best option. You don't need to feel silly by saying "hey, I'm a newbie. Anyone want to team up some time?"

 

--I don't do that fazebook thing, but apparently it's the hottest thing going for geocachers. Perhaps your local folks are gathering all the time on a fazebook page?

 

Hope you meet up with some folks. I certainly can relate to the concern about caching alone in some situations.

 

Or .... perhaps .... convince your hubby to join you and the fun of geocaching?

I used Hide and Seek a cache, http://www.geocaching.com/seek/

 

Try advanced search options, in the lowest search pane >>>Advanced Search and asked for Events by coords, using the coords of the first cache you found.

 

Attending events is how to meet folks to cache with !

Thank you for your advice. Do you mean "Facebook"? And hubby is coming with me on some. Usually have to work everyother weekend, so he can't go with me during the week. But will check out some options. PS. Can't wait to visit Canada one day!!!

Looks like you are in SCs upstate which has a very active group of cachers. Their Facebook page is Upstate South Carolina Geocachers Association (USCGA). Good group of folks.
