HI, sag314! we see you're from Brown Deer, so you're in the right spot to learn all about geocaching and to find lots of caches. There are always Geocaching 101 type events in the Milwaukee area to help you get down the basics, and there are plenty of area cachers to join up with to go out caching together. There are even a couple of events coming up this month to attend.

And what you can't find out on your own or in the field, just visit here in the forums and ask away. There are no dumb questions, just some dumb*** answers once in a while. Rolling Eyes

Welcome to the fun!

Glad you could join us. Caching is a great pastime and flexible to how you like to cache. You can find out about great destinations, areas to get lots of numbers, how to solve puzzles, events to attend... you won't be bored and you may even make some friends in the process. Enjoy!

Hi: You will really like and enjoy Geocaching, I m kind of new, started in November,2009, but have found caches in places I didn t even know were around, I go back and walk some of the trails or visit the small parks that I have found looking for caches, and I have met some fellow cachers on the trails..Sometimes you have to use your brain, which is good for me, being 68, go with my 2 grandchildren and dawter sometimes, my other dawter and her family got me started, they live in Utah..have a great time out their.....Zeroo3 Very Happy
