Cloak_N_Dagger Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I've been lurking around the forum here for a few weeks, reading posts and trying to gather information to help me in this new sport. I finally made the plunge yesterday and purchased a SporTrak Pro. 45 minutes later I was standing beside the River Walk Cache This morning I decided to try one a bit harder and hiked through the blowing snow to the Mount Rogers Cache. My SporTrak Pro took me to within a few feet of it! I enjoyed the walk and the scenery, the snow was blowing over my tracks as I left, leaving it virtually pristine for the next cache hunter. I'm hooked ... bad, going to head out tomorrow to try for a few more. I just wanted to thank y'all for all the info provided to get me started. Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 You chose a great way to get started! Read and research FIRST. Then go out and buy a good GPS receiver (I own a Garmin V but have recommended the Sportrak series to others). Then have no problems finding your first caches. Research pays off in this game, whether it's your first find or your 200th. Go find some more and HAVE FUN! x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x If there's no accounting for stupidity, then why do I need to file a tax return? Quote Link to comment
Cloak_N_Dagger Posted February 6, 2003 Author Share Posted February 6, 2003 I've only had time to log a few more finds, but I enjoy each of them even more! I even fixed up a cache of my own and put it out. I was delighted to see that the Treasure Chest Has been found twice this week. I was hoping that I had the coordinates right. It appears that it was OK. (Newbie Luck ) Thanks again for all the info! Quote Link to comment
