I had a hard time finding the first geocache I ever went for, after finding a few others I realised caches could look like anything! I went back to the one I never could find and found it straight away! It was disguised as a bolt.

Some of them are disguised??? Well, i learned something new there. XD

Oh yeah, if you don't know the typical hiding places, you can spend a loooong time looking for a cache that's right under your very nose.
We've had this too, searching a long time for our first cache. Only when another team came along, they pointed out the cache to us. Then we knew what to look for!

So if you have a friendly local geocacher, maybe you can ask to accompany them for a day, so you can learn what to look for?

I don't know any local geocachers but i'll see if i can find any on meetup or something like that.

Pick a few of average size and not marked as difficult. Read the descriptions (including the hints) and go hunting. Once you've found a few you'll start to find the hints unnecessary. Good hunting.

Ah. A simple google search brought up quite a few caches. However, they're mostly across the river (a lot in forest park).

Thanks. I already know of one 10 minutes from my house. Now i gotta find it. :)

Thanks kengr! So you can download local caches to your GPS? Cool!
