Outstanding.
Have been doing it for a couple of years now. The daughters and I really enjoy it.

Just discovered both geocaching & this thread, and made a first find just today. My GPS goes back to the Clinton years, my eyes back to Harry Trumans'
Pretty neat to find a film can sized object just off a trail I've walked for a long time

Wow, think I'll be laughing for a while over that definition ..
Another Cacher, checking in. The eTrex 20 is my weapon of choice.
I'm terrible at finding urban caches, though. Give me something the size of an ammo box out in the forest over a bison tube hanging from a bush in a Wal-Mart parking lot any day of the week.

I generally keep away from urban caches, too many muggles around.
I like caches where I can take my time to find them without raising looks from passing vehicles, people, etc.
I completely agree, I'm not a big fan of looking super-sketchy while doing it. I found out there's a couple around the mall my wife and I work in though, so tomorrow after I drop her off to work, I'm gonna go find them. The mall should be dead because it's Canada Day (July 1st) here, and while it is a holiday for us when it falls on a Sunday stores (weirdly) have to stay open on it and get to close the Monday. Also no-one knows about this stupid rule.
I greatly enjoy Geocaching. Only use my iPhone. It's amazing the things I've found in my own home town that I never knew existed, including an entire abandoned railway line complete with abandoned Civil War era coal mine.
Yup Been one for about 3ish years. I have a Garmin Etrex. My wife son and I go out every once in a while. My wife is afraid of snakes so she usually lets me and the kid do the bushwacking!
TFTF!

Hahaha, I have a terrible habit that makes geocaching alot harder than it has to be. I get something like 50m away from a cache and start bushwacking and often end up right back on the same trail which I didn't realise lead right to the cache anyway.
Been a cacher for about 6 years. I started with an Etrex Legend and never had a problem. My in-laws got me a new Etrex 10 with a caching bundle for Christmas, but I haven't had a chance to take it out yet, too much snow on the ground.
The etrex 10 is my weapon on choice, a great unit.
The only downside (that I have found) is that it can only show the closest 18 caches, however I have found that on occasions it fails to show the closest caches and thinks that the closest is a couple of Kms (or Miles) away.
Generally I don't have an issue with it, as my caching trips are always planned and I load the GPS with the needed caches beforehand and then remove when returning home.
Been at it since 2008 with my eTrex Legend HCx. Lots of DNFs over the years, though I did successfully find two today.
Yup me too. If there is a more difficult way to get there, I'll find it.
