First Hide

Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2010 9:38 am

We set out our first cache this weekend aqnd also learned a very valuable lesson, don't depend on a smarthphone GPS to establish the coordinates. Luckily the person who did the first find let us know that we were off by about 45 feet, so I quickly ran back this morning with my GPS and rechecked the coordinates. All should be good to go.

The name of our first cache is Ghost of Picnics Past.

Congrats on your first hide! I just did my first hide a week ago and I am now finding myself out hiking around wilderness areas after work snapping photo after photo of potential hiding spots Very Happy

I guess there are much worse things to be addicted to, right?

Way to go on your first hide. Careful, this caching bug is terminal.

congrats on the first hide. And 45 ft off using a smartphone isn't really all that bad. Most handheld GPS units get somewhere around 20-30 ft accuracy.
Depending on hints and beacons, it can ease the inaccuracy if the possibile locations are fewer.

Absolutely agree with that. It really gets into your blood this geocaching. We have now hid our second cache earlier this summer.
