Darwin473 Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Welcome! Some people have different experiences, though some people prefer to find local groups where they can find people who they can physically meet up with. If you have any questions, feel free to post in here and hopefully somebody can help you out. I'm in Australia. Quote
+FootyFan123 Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 In many areas there are Geocaching Facebook groups. Try a search like this. ‘Your County’ Geocaching 1 Quote

+frostengel Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 (Sorry for the German post. :-)) Hallo Meyra, es gibt auch einen deutschsprachigen Teilbereich hier im gesamten Forum: https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/forum/148-german-speaking-forum-deutschsprachiges-forum/&_fromLogin=1 Das (gesamte) Forum ist natürlich super, um sich auszutauschen, wenn du aber Interesse an Kontakt vor Ort hast (gemeinsame Cachetouren zum Beispiel), dann ist es eher nicht sooo geeignet. Aber wenn, dann eben im deutschsprachigen Forenteil - denn hier tummeln sich eben doch Cacher aus der ganzen Welt, da werden wenige aus NRW dabei sein. ;-) Dafür wären dann Events vor Ort am besten. Wieso bist du laut Profil eigentlich "18 - 21 Jahre alt"? :-) Herzliche Grüße aus Karlsruhe - ein bisschen südlicher - Jochen Quote

Thanks for the tip... we live in the middle of nowhere and me and my husband, separate people but same team have found 18 so far, many where we are are broken or lost so have reported them for maintenance. The nano ones I have trouble finding!!!! but its a mission to find one... The cache I have hid, is for children and fun and easy, as its my first geocache.,. but I am a rule follower so made sure all was correct before hiding. 1 Quote
+CleverCloggs Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 ps... the app is safely on my phone, hence me finding the ones I did..also a coordinates app..very handy. 1 Quote

You can correct them here: https://www.geocaching.com/account/settings/homelocation Having accurate home coordinates will help speed up the publication of your pending caches. 1 Quote
+CleverCloggs Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Yes, I do... thanks for the tip... Quote
+CleverCloggs Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 My location is Avis in Portugal and logged as such. Quote

I checked again, and your updated home coordinates removed the flag on the cache pages you submitted. I am sure that your friendly local Community Volunteer Reviewer will be along in due course to review your caches. Thanks for joining the ranks of cache hiders, especially in a rural area where caches might be few and far between. 1 2 Quote
