If you're looking for seeking geocaches, there are two places you can try.
The first, and one that has the most going on, is www.geocaching.com the
other is www.navicache.com

Currently there are over 600 caches logged into the geocaching.com system,
while the navicache.com system has _1_ cache!!!!  (and interestingly it's a
direct copy of the Yellow Jeep Fever cache...even down to the name..I
wonder, Cody, did you put it there???.).   From that's it should be pretty
clear which system you need to look at for seeking a cache.

As for placing a cache, and this is only a guideline.  Wait until you're
sought out about 6-10 caches, of varying difficulties and styles.  That way
you'll be better able to judge the difficulty and "appropriateness" of your
own cache.  Now, bear in mind that is just a suggestion, not any sort of a
rule.  After all SOMEONE had to place the first cache, and I'm pretty sure
that they didn't have 10 finds!

But the most important thing to do is to have fun while you're doing it!!!

See ya in the logs,
