RE: [Az-Geocaching] New to Geocaching :-)

SquishyGecko,

The "team thing" is just a convenience. Our team started out with four
members, but half the team moved out of state. So now our team is really
just my wife and me, often just me. But it also includes anyone who
joins us on a cache hunt that isn't already registered on
geocaching.com.

I've often worried that hunting with a handheld GPS looked conspicuous
or suspicious. I can't imagine wandering around holding a laptop! ;-P

Want a good event? Hit this cache next Saturday:

Welcome to Geocaching!

Hi all ...

Fairly new to the geocaching hobby, however I've already located four
caches and have ordered a few travel bugs of my own to start planting
around the greater Phoenix area. :)

The equipment I'm using is a Toshiba laptop with a GPS receiver, a wifi
card, and DeLorme Maps. Maybe someday I'll purchase a handheld GPS
receiver and make life a little easier.

I've noticed there are quite a few teams operating, and wonder what the
benefit of operating within a team might be. Are there team-oriented
events?

Aside from that, any tips and advice which you might offer would be
awesome.

Thanks!
