I’m not addicted to finding caches. But I seem to have developed an overly strong need to monitor the GC website or my email, for hits on the ones I’ve hidden In fact if someone hasn’t found one of mine in a week I look for an excuse to drive in that area to check on it I think (or hope) it’s a side effect of it seeming that there are not many finders in my area

I use this method quite a bit with my GPS III.

… thanks for the tip, however I know how to do that (have done for some multi-stage caches and when planning/verifying my own hides). The problem is that I lookup and print cache pages at work, drive home and hop in the mini-van where the GPS is in the glove compartment. It’s a habit problem, not a technical knowledge problem. Maybe I need to quit my job so I can stay closer to my GPS !

You guys are having way too much fun with my question! I think I’m getting better now. Not sure why, but I tend to not log waypoints on my GPS … I drive close to the coords and march around to approach the final coords. Sometimes I under estimate the distance to walk and wish I had driven to a different spot … but you hit a point at which it becomes silly to turn around and get your car. Maybe if I’d waypoint the GPS, I could would rely on the GPS to tell me how close I am in miles, rather than trying to estimate distance based on coordinates. I do know how to log the waypoints, just for some reason I can’t explain I just never tend to do that … I like to print off the pages and run to my car.
