Welcome WingRider!
Hope you have as much fun finding geocaches as we have! It's a great family
game! Too bad about the false accusations geocaching has been getting in the
press lately. You know what's funny - the reporter who wrote the original
article has a GPS and is planning to go geocaching with her husband!
Let us know if you need any help or advice. There's some good, very active
geocacher's in the Tucson area, as well as some real scenic caches to
locate.

The other night there was a quick news item on Tucson TV about "geocaching".
I didn't really catch what the story was about but I was online and checked
out the GeoCaching site. Inputted my zip code and a couple caches came up,
and I'm pretty sure I know where a couple are as they're about a mile away
from my home.
Bought a GPS yesterday. Used the excuse I can always give it to my son.
Trying to learn to use it! Will go cache hunting later today or over the
weekend.
Looks like I joined in the middle of a controversy. Is there an online link
to that Republic story?
