introducing myself

[cesca50]

Last week I discovered Geocaching, and have already been out on two trips already. I live in a major city in Canada, so practically all of my caches will be in the urban jungle. Also I like the idea of the virtual caches as I find it much easier to look for information than it is to look for micro caches

Micros can be much smaller than a film canister. Google "nano cache" to get an idea of how small.

Your method of using Google maps etc. can work well for urban caches. GPS units can be inaccurate if you are in a downtown area with lots of tall buildings. But some of the most fun geocaching is out in the country or in city parks, where a GPS will be very accurate and can help guide you to cache sites.

Some micros will be as small as the top joint of your little finger. These ones are often magnetic.

yay, welcome! i miss geocaching, i've been thinking about it a lot since the weather warmed up a bit. there are some impressively tiny cache containers out there! and some that are just plain creatively camouflaged.

I sent you a friend request from Geocaching,

Please be aware that my GC name is different than my name here on LJ.

Thanks
