How many of you Geocache?
Last May I was introduced to geocaching and now I am having a great time seeing areas that I would never have seen if I did not do this. I was wondering if any of you geocache?
For those of you wondering what the heck I am talking about you can check it out on their web site- www.geocaching.com

We haven't yet.
But have friends that just go nuts about it. I think it will be a good hobby once retired.

Well this as good as any for a first post. Yes we got hooked on it last fall. Had a great time down in Florida seeing a lot of places we wouldn't have known about if it wasn't for geocaching.

Welcome to the forum wingerphil, you are right about seeing a lot of places that you would not have known was there. I have lived in the Forestville, CA area for 21 years and now that I have been doing the geocaching I am amazed at the areas that I have not been to. It is fun finding the little treasures but the sites that they take you to are the best find.

One of the locals here in Havasu, told me about an old bomber crashing on a local mountain, a little hard to get to, but it has a ammo box with notes and the things you put in when doing the hobby.
When I save my pennies enough I will solicit advice on a GPS Unit.

I've done it a little bit. I have a Magellan Meridian color handheld unit. I used it in the truck until I got an indash GPS. It's fun, but I feel uncomfortable walking through a cemetary or walking through a park with kids around holding the GPS looking for a box or whatever.

Doug,
We've been doing it since we left Mich. and have been having a ball. We've driven a lot of desert, climbed many hills. We did one cache in a little park on a busy street corner in Laughlin, NV. Our most interesting was at the drive up window at a wedding chapel in Las Vegas. Some of the people are really ingenious when it comes to camoflageing their caches. One was in a lawn sprinkler head, another was on a vacant business lot. It was an unused electrical box with a receptical in it.

Well Doug you got Leona hooked. I think she has logged over 130 caches now and developed a site with her brother (Guns and Roses, Idaho). Along with that she has appropriated my Garmin V, and we had to buy a Jeep Wrangler for her to run the hills in (and I thought golf was an expensive hobby). I'm sure she'll want to check out the caches in Quartzsite. She's Sweet Girl on the cach site.
