+LthrWrk Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 OK.. cannot be out everyday looking for caches.. weather.. sick.. appointments.. etc can keep you out of the hunt. What do you consider 'must-haves' in your library. Regardless of experience level. Any one particular resource that you could not do without? Charles Mount Vernon, WA Link to comment
+crash331 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I got the COmplete Idiots Guide to Geocaching when I first started. I read it cover to cover, but it's not exactly the kind of thing you can read over and over. Link to comment

+PeachyPA Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I read the cache pages to see how others find them and the gc.com forums. Link to comment
+briansnat Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 The New Testament. geezzz I doubt that will help... How about what is in your library that is geocaching specific/related? Charles Mt Vernon WA Depends on how hard the cache is to find. Link to comment
+YuccaPatrol Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Here is a good one: Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time by Dava Sobel John Harrison's discovery that made it possible to measure longitude makes him a founding father of geocaching since he made it possible to know one's longitude as well as latitude Link to comment
+Robespierre Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Fifty Miles To The Outhouse by Will E. Makit Beyond the Faq pages, our monthly "magazine," and whatever you find on google, like how to use a compass, and the New Testament, what else do you need? Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Nothing. Sheesh, plug in a number, push a button, most of the time find the cache. It's not rocket science. I'm truly impressed people found enough to write about to make a book out of it. Ignore my post count. Thanks. Link to comment
+PeachyPA Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Ah, yes, Today's Cacher, a monthly online magazine! An excellent read every month published by members of gc.com and posters to this forum! Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 The New Testament. geezzz I doubt that will help... How about what is in your library that is geocaching specific/related? Charles Mt Vernon WA Not so. There's at least two caches here in GA that require you to look things up in the New Testament: By The Book #1 and By The Book #2 Zack Link to comment
+Prairie Dog Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Fifty Miles To The Outhouse by Will E. Makit A great book. Illustrated by Betty Don't. tee hee. Link to comment
+nfa Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I make frequent use of DeLorme Atlases of the states I will be caching in...they have topo/street maps of every inch of every state...they help me plan drives, approaches, stops, etc. nfa Link to comment
+tirediron Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Other than my Garmin manuals and software help-files.. not much! Link to comment
+superpowerdave Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 As far as a geocaching library? While some above are correct in my mind, it is just a simple process of punching in numbers and then following the dotted line, I think it's the exploration part that gets to me. Longitude is a great one, especially since most people don't know just how tough a mystery that was to figure out. Anything by John Krakeaur, but Into the Wild is definitely my favorite. Peter Jenkin's Walk Across America is a solid read for the exploration minded. Specifically for geocaching though, we've got the topo maps which I love pouring over, trailhead guides and biking routes which come on different maps in our area, as well as DeLormes Atlas and Gazateer. We also do a lot of browsing on gc.com as well as the forums. Link to comment

+LthrWrk Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 Thanks for the info. Seems that nearly everything I would read at home is available on the net. Including the owners manual for the GPSr and toys I aint got in the mail yet. I am also finding that many different 'state' geocaching groups have valuable tidbits. Lots of great information scattered about. More than a few posts with goode humor..... thanks . K.. enuff this thread .. Charles Mt Vernon WA Link to comment
