Debbie,
I haven't been caching in the Prescott area yet, so I don't have any
recommendations for or against specific caches.
However, this is probably obvious, but I had a few caches under my belt
before it occurred to me to set a waypoint at my vehicle. Even when I
think the cache is going to be "just right over there" I do it, because
I've been wrong more than once before. Also I don't know if your GPS
tracks your path...mine does and it's nice to have to follow back
(assuming I like the path that I took to the cache, which I often don't!
LOL).
Of course it's still a good idea to keep an eye out for where you are.
Batteries fail, GPSs fall in creeks and get carried away. It's never
happened to me (and I *always* carry extra batteries), but I just think
it's a smart practice to use the GPS as an aid to navigating, not a
substitute.
