There was a geocache next to my school, it had a pack of gum with 3 pieces in it and the geocache note in it, we took the gum and filled it with pine cones from and near tree and left a note that said "we didn't have anything elce to repay the Minty gun so here's some pine fresh scent in a container" we went back around 5 months later and t was gone though :(

i've gone geo-caching several times, it's really fun
This actually seems fun, if i find time i will try
I went around the trail near my house and found 4 caches, all in very well hidden (but easy to access) areas like logs and rocks. I found this huge ammo can under a tree.
Went out around maybe a 5 mile radius got about 10 and 2 not finds.
Is there a Java app for phones with GPS? I found an app but I don't want to use it in case it uses my credit... :(
The search function on that site is the slowest shit ever.
My dad found out about this a few years ago. He wanted to do it and also set up some caches, but we didn't have a GPS.

I live in Oxford, UK. Going to hit the city centre tomorrow, it's crawling with them. Psyched.
Just went to find one today, took me a good 15 minutes to find it, sneaky place. This is in Glasgow, the rise statue.
Found 1 out of like 8 around Abingdon and Sunningwell, Oxfordshire. They are impossible to find without GPS in that place :C I will also check out the ones in Oxford city centre at some point this holiday. :fuckyou:

Just found my first geocache with Bengley (his second). Didn't sign our names in it the logbook was soaking wet.
Found one in my hometown 2 hours ago, I guessed its location completely. There were 4 locations that fit the description. :(
There's a GeoCache on top of my local church. Fuck if I'm grabbing that. [editline]11:13PM[/editline] There's another one in somebody's back garden. What a failure. [editline]11:14PM[/editline] Apparently there's only like 5 in my area excluding the above two. [editline]11:17PM[/editline] is there any point trying this without a gps or can I just memorize the details from a PC
Ahh, I used to go Geocaching with my dad. Fun times.
