Finding my first geocache

For those who don't know --Geocaching:

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little monetary value. Today, well over 350,000 geocaches are currently placed in 222 countries around the world, which are registered on various websites devoted to the sport.

[TheGh0st81]

hehe not quite -- but geocaching is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and get away from your computer.

i wanna do this so bad, but a good gps costs quite a bit. maybe i can get one for christmas...

[TheGh0st81]

they actually aren't that expensive... I got mine for 130 ish

[ldsconvert]

is the sound messed on this vid?

[TheGh0st81]

There isn't sound. Was using just a digital camera, it takes crude videos but no sound.

even though they say not to hide food i usually hide dr peppers

I tried that a few years back. But I couldn't find the one I was searching for. But make sure if you take something to LEAVE something! Thats the way it goes. You should throw in a porn mag... that would guarentee some laughs. hahaha

Shoulda made a video of us finding our first cache back in 03, but we didn't.

CACHE ON!

[IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

@TheGh0st81 thats expensive for us working folks. besides 130 bucks could buy a pretty nice salmon rod lol

@janX9  That's what we used...it's very accurate, in fact it showed us exactly what lamp post to go to in one area.

I went on my first Geocaching adventure tonight...we found 3 caches!!! NO GPS! Just clues!

[pacmandude345]

i found a geocache without trying to. i didnt have a gps and i didnt even know what a geocache was, and i just found one. :/

[janX9]

@mental135 How accurate is google earth at finding the location? I assume it's as accurate as using a GPS. I've never Geocached before and don't have a GPS, but I do have google earth.

[landgsmith]

yes you can...in fact, I did that with the first 10 or caches!

[darkspear65]

Yeah, then print it out, it should work :D

[geocachefinder]

Im 14 and I made enough to get a $160 Garmin GPS.. just don't waste it on dumb stuff and you will get enough!

[snoxxbom]
