enfanta Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Hi crazie me! The first place to go is here. Take your time, read everything you can and then go out a find a couple caches. When you've done that and you're ready to set your cache, be sure to read this. Good luck! Care the Deception of Imitative Administrator Quote Link to comment

+Mopar Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Hi, welcome to geocaching! Probably the BEST thing you can do is to go with your dad and find a few more geocaches first. This way you get to see a few different ones and see how it's done. Then you should read the guidelines for hiding a cache - http://www.geocaching.com/articles/requirements.asp - so you get some idea of what's allowed and what isn't. You didn't say where you are, so I don't know, but there may be a reason there are no caches in the park you mention already. Some places have rules against them, and some other places make you get a permit first. It's always a good idea to find out if it's ok to place a cache there before you actually do it. Good luck!

+Renegade Knight Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Well first thing you do is give in to this urge you have to hide a cache and Just Do It! It pays to scout your location first to see what kind of cache you can hide there. The bigger the cache the better trading can take place. However sometimes a small cache is all that you can hide so that others won't find it who don't need to be finding caches. Once you scouted, pick a container, add a log book, pencil, and any starting trade items and place that puppy. Then post it on this website. Once it's approved they will come out of the woodwork looking for this cache. Finding more caches before you place this one is optional. Quote Link to comment

Technically optional, perhaps, but highly recommended. It gives you a better feel for what works and what doesn't in cache containers and hiding places. Quote Link to comment

+Treasure Hunters Inc. Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 One thing to think about when looking for a good spot for a cache is, "what will the area be like in other seasons like late fall and winter when the leaves and stuff are gone. (unless your in the warm south). $1000 Bill geocaching is living in a 30 foot circle Quote Link to comment
