+Accident Prone Hiker Posted June 9, 2002 Posted June 9, 2002 My friend and I found our first 2 caches over the weekend. I'm in love with geocaching. Planning a cache of my own. Let's keep it fun. Quote

Planning a cache of my own. Let's keep it fun. May I suggest that you find a few more caches before you hide one. There is no hard and fast rule but you should get a good feel for the game before you start looking for your own hiding spot. Give yourself a chance to get some perspective on what makes or doesn't make a good hide. george Remember: Half the people you meet are below average. Quote

+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted June 9, 2002 Posted June 9, 2002 I hid a cache after only finding one cache. I hadn't learned how my gps works best yet. It takes awhile. A very nice cacher named Quad spent 45 minutes looking for my cache and then sent me the correct coordinates. Taking a little time before you hide one isn't a bad idea. But trust me, I love guys who get into this and want to be hiders. They make the hobby great. Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote
Tree Frogs Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 We are also brand new to GeoCaching. We decided to wait for ten finds before hiding our first. The caches we have found has given us a few ideas about placement and we definately have a good feel for our GPSr now. We hit nine finds yesterday out of eleven tries so we're going to place our cache this weekend . We are very excited! The Tree Frogs Quote

+Accident Prone Hiker Posted June 11, 2002 Author Posted June 11, 2002 Thanks everyone for the advice. Since my first find on Saturday, I find myself wanting to call in sick and whip out the GPS. Thanks again Quote
+M-D-M Explorations Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 Don't feel too bad. The week of Memorial Day I "conveniently" was ill so I could stay home and catch up on reading and researching of caches and other waypoints of other games I am in. Printing maps and stuff like that. By the time I was healthy enough to go back to work I had a ton of prepared stuff for geo-caching and did not want to go to work! M-D-M Explorations MrSki and DogMa 40º 07.874'N 88º 11.647'W Quote
+The Leprechauns Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 Hello, since I am also just getting started, and am in the same neighborhood (Pittsburgh) I thought I would wave hello! My daughter & I logged our first cache without a GPSr last weekend. Today the Garmin V arrived by FedEx. So what are the odds that I will be too sick to go to work one day this week? Quote

+Accident Prone Hiker Posted June 16, 2002 Author Posted June 16, 2002 Hi Leprechauns! Since you're close by, I highly recommend the "Best For Last" cache. (If you haven't already done it.) Quote
syd_b_lives_on Posted June 21, 2002 Posted June 21, 2002 I hid 4 caches before I even found my first cache. Quote
