[Az-Geocaching] Prescott

[Lisa G.]

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.
