Your First Geocaching Hunt

Geocaching 101In order to keep this as basic as possible, we're going to begin with just two assumptions:

  1. You have never used a GPS before, and the one you have is a basic handheld model.
  2. You're going to be hunting a fairly easy Traditional Cache that is hidden in the woods.

 

Of course, assumptions are just that—assumptions. The cache you choose might be quite a bit easier or maybe even a little harder than the one in the tutorial. It shouldn't be too difficult to adapt the information below to the cache you are searching for.
