I was wandering if any one on here does geocaching?

It's been forever since I've been.
I've got my Garmin mounted on the dash of my car.. waiting for me to take it out and use it!

I don't do it, but there is a geocaching site just below my house. I caught someone there a couple of years ago. I thought I would see what they were doing after they left, and figured out what it was.

I've been to that one. Pretty easy find.

Yeah, I would assume it isn't to difficult. I looked it up a couple of years ago after I figured out what people were doing. I am wondering on the origin of who started that cache. I think it may have been Dr. Templeton from over at GC. Not sure though, but looking at the user name, I thought it might be him.

I've only been a couple of times; found 1 on High Knob once.
I would like to get a gps, any suggestions on what gps to buy?

Brand-wise there's only a few, but I'd recommend Garmin first. Get one with the best antenna you can afford (or one where you can add an antenna).

The GPS V is what I have. I like it.

I've done most of mine around Bburg. There's a tough one in the cemetery in town and for the life of me I never could solve that one.

Garmin does an excellent job with all of their GPS products. I think they do an excellent job on both hand helds, and car portable units.

It's been too long since I've been as well. My first summer into the sport I found 50 of those suckers! It's a great deal of fun! Even been geocaching with elp6n a time or two. There are a ton around our area . . . even some in BSG that I have set out.

Get a GPS and get caching! You'll love it!

I was into it quite a bit a couple of years ago. Quite a few in Wise County. Would be even more if I got off my butt and placed a few.

Haven't been on a hunt in at least a year, more like two. Still think a lot about good places for hides.

I once did an all-day hunt, I think I found 14 or 15 hides that day. Drove about 300 miles around Wise, Scott, Sullivan, and Washington counties.
