Hello again to everyone, new year, new me (it's 2022 in Australia now, still NYE in the US).

 

My original username was Unit473L, which I picked from looking in the real estate section of the newspaper. Not a great name, not a terrible name. However, I did have a few people asking me if the "unit" part was related to some military unit, as many of them have numbers instead of names. Also, it's way too close to the awful Manshu Detachment known as Unit 731 in WWII. They committed many atrocities and war crimes (feel free to look them up if you feel like being depressed for the rest of the week).

 

Since I don't want to inadvertently be providing support for them, I've changed my username to Darwin473. Now comes the hard part, remembering to write the correct username when I write my logs! :D

Hello everyone! First time GC'ing in a long time. Last time I did, I was 12-13 and doing it with my father, in Washington State, USA. We didn't find anything but I had a lot of fun regardless. Those memories just popped into my head today, and I'm in my mid 20s now! So I thought I would give this hobby another try. Now I'm in Oregon, USA and I've been peeping the map around me, and seeing there's plenty of caches to find. I want to learn a bit more about hiking as well, so this seems like the perfect opportunity to take me to some hidden spots. Wish me luck!

Hello!, my name is Elliot, I'm a veteran to a lot of these geolocation finding apps, and I decided why not use the original geocaching app, so I'm here, and currently doing it with a bunch of friends, hello everyone!, glad to be apart of this community.

Hello Geocahing Comunity,

   We are CoteFamily4, we have 2 children we are trying to get into this "game" which i tell them is like a world wide treasure hunt. They find it very intriguing. We are going for our first adventure today! We look forward to the adventures to come. Good luck everyone. We paid for premium so we could find as many as we can. They are already asking to hide one too.

Hi all,

I (Beastriot67) am brand new to geocaching and looking to find a good starter one for me and my toddler. We are in the Westland mi area. Are there any good starting caches that people could direct me to?

 

Thank you

 

 

Try GC4GZVZ  It is a size Large and has a Difficulty rating of 1.5.  This cache should be pretty easy to find.

 

Welcome to the hobby and  Good Luck

Hello everyone,  I stumbled upon this hobby by accident and using it to get a little exercise and fresh air.  I've enjoyed it so far doing ones close to home for now but plan on branching out.

 I'm from Baltimore, Maryland but more precise (Dundalk) and would love to meet fellow cachers

Welcome to our activity/hobby/activity/obsession. 
 

A good way to get acquainted with other geocachers is to attend events.  The closest one I saw to you is GCA09FD, MGS 2022 MGS Holiday Swap and Potluck.  Check it out.

Hi there

Met a couple in Ilkley today, and got interested, so I thought I'd give it a go.

 

I have their profile name, and wondered how I could get in touch with them, to say "Hi"?

I live in Bradford, West Yorkshire and spend a lot of time either cycling or walking the Leeds to Liverpool Canal, between Leeds and Skipton.

I'm interested in the countryside, wildlife and wild swimming, and thought this app would enhance my experience.

WOW. I hadn't noticed you had changed your name. I've been recognising your posts purely from your avatar! Doh. Call me ososlow.
