You always crack me up!

If I had to estimate, I’d say I get about 25-30 hours or so on two AA batteries. I have a Garmin GPS72, WAAS enabled, backlight off.
I read an article about geocaching in a Better Homes and Gardens Magazine in the summer of ’03. Sounded like the perfect blend of technology and being outside for our family. It’s pretty much Mama Fishcacher’s hobby now.

Ahhh yes, BUT, they are a few weeks behind us climate-wise, (that’s the only way I could think of how to say that) so the ticks up there are still not out quite yet!
Happens to me all the time too…. I guess I just get too excited that maybe someone else is spending *quality* time at the WGA website as well, lol.

After going paperless, I wouldn’t go any other way! (Except for those times when I need a piece of scrap paper for jotting down notes or whatnot at a puzzle cache, lol.)
I use Cachemate myself. I haven’t looked into GSAK yet.
**edited to add** I really like Cachemate and have no desire to even look into GSAK at this time.

Congrats on your newest addition!!! He’s a cute little guy! (Ok, he’s not so little…)
Dad looks so proud! And mom just looks GREAT!
Whoops! Sorry about the run-in with your local PD…. Eek! I hope they were understanding about it….

I’ve just learned to make it a habit NOT to pick up travel bugs that don’t tell me what their goal is. I don’t want to mess it up.
Also, if the travel bug is too big, I won’t take it either. It gets really hard to find caches that are big enough to accept the travel bug…. I’ve lived and learned.

Wow. About an hour later and I’m finally done reading that thread! It really was interesting.

I’ve yet to place a cache. The past couple weeks I’ve located some local areas on a map, and have about 10 parks on a list for places to possibly put a cache.
I was under the impression that I was pretty much required to ask for permission before placing a cache. (From geocaching.com website: “By submitting a cache listing, you assure us that you have adequate permission to hide your cache in the selected location.”) So color me a teensy bit confused here.
Some of you are saying to not bother asking for permission. I can see that side of the argument – why bother asking if you’re going to be told no, when it’s public land anyhow that *anyone* could be hiking on.
But I see the other side of the argument too – that by asking permission, we can only benefit the organization by appearing as responsible users of the parks. And we can prevent problems such as what happened with GCHA0W (“Towering Over the Grove”) where a *geomuggle* stumbled upon the ammo can cache, called the cops, and the bomb squad was called in…. (There was a group of deputies that wasn’t too pleased with it, and because of that situation, I will never be using an ammo can as a cache. Tupperware looks a lot more innocent, lol.)
Anyone want to clarify their position? This newbie cache placer would appreciate it.

Welcome, welcome!! And congrats on your engagement!

Congrats Miata!
And thanks Russ for this great trivia game! It’s been a lot of fun (sometimes downright irritating, lol) and quite educational. Like another said – a perfect way to pass the time waiting for spring to arrive!

I look for ones that have recently been found by others. And sometimes on the cache page, the placer will note if it is winter friendly or not.
Welcome to geocaching!
