[Az-Geocaching] New GPS

[Larry Farquhar]

I recently was invited to join "www.geogame.com". ZERO caches in
Arizona! It's competitive cache hunting- you earn "points" for your
"ranking". I'll stick with geocaching.com (and of course,
azgeocaching.com).

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,
