Welcome to the list Bill! You've joined a bunch of addicted geocaching nuts
here! :) A great group of folks!

You'll get a ton of preferences, as everyone has there own idea of what is
good. Any GPS will work for geocaching. It all depends on how much $$ you
want to spend and the extra features you want. I think you can get a GPS for
under $100 now, which is what my wife uses (Garmin Etrex). I like the added
features of mapping and auto-routing, yet still small provided by my Garmin
GPS V ($400+).

If you hide the cache - you can decide where to place it. Cache's in remote
areas won't get visited very often, but sometimes provide the best scenery
or historical value. Personally, I like the caches with great scenery and/or
a historical value. However, I'll rarely go for a single  remote cache. Once
there's a few in an area, then I'll plan a caching trip to that area.
Usually, if I wait long enough, groups of caches appear together.

Happy Hunting!

Well, I am new to the list and new to the whole geocaching thing.  Any
recomendations on a GPS to get started?  I live in the country, and could
plant some caches on land not closed for the fire season.  Are most of them
in remote areas, or are some more accessable sites appreciated?
