Any of you Geocachers ever get accused of “littering?” I was up behind Donut Falls, and found a geocache on the Mine Road trail on accident – with no GPS. It was a Tupperware stashed under a rock, and at first I thought it was some moron who stashed his lunch and forgot to reclaim it. But when it turned out to be a geocache I felt all cool for having found it with no GPS. :cool2: It had a bunch of little miscellaneous trinkets, and a sign-in book.

Yeah welcome to you guys. :2thumbs: Be sure to put a post in the newbies section. Good to have some resident experts on the site. As you will read in my post over on the UTAG site. My GPS is down at the moment. Several members here have requested a geocachng area. We have also talked about a few a games. Thank you for your kind words after my beating over on UTAG. :chairshot: We'll see how things go now. I think that life is to short to get worked up over things. Inviting a few outdoor lovers to enjoy this site was my only intention. I hope you enjoy the site, we are glad to have you. :nod:

Just got my e-mail, so it looks like I've been accepted into this illustrious group, too.

Wow...this forum has some really cool emoticons. I will have to hijack some of those.

I, of course, also came here by way of the UTAG forums post by accadacca. And am looking forward to enjoying these as well. Been caching since April of 2001 and still going strong, with a few lapses. Caching has introduced me to mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, skiing, scuba, snowshoeing, offroading (to a lesser extent) and plans are to add X-country skiing to that mix this coming winter. Too many great places to see in this state, and you have to adapt to see them all.

Count me in as another geocacher coming to you from the UTAG forums. I'm relatively new at this, but it sure is fun. We went down to Green River to the Swell (thanks, DeViDe :clap: ) for a caching event. That's something we never would have done without the geocaching. :2thumbs:

You know that is what I have been hearing from all cachers. That they get to see parts of Utah that they would normally never see. That is very intriguing.. :cool2: I went mountain biking with fourtycal this week and he told me about some of his adventures. If he was on his motorcycle he would just load the coordinates and ride. He would go down roads that he would normally not take and see new new things.

He saw favorite locations of others. Places that people grew up spending time in and wanted to share. Also areas with a great view or some other significance. Not just the cach to find but the adventure getting there and finding the new place that you get to visit. Very cool! :2thumbs:

I just noticed this geocaching here & had to reply- fourtycal got me involved in caching & I 've been hooked since day one. I've found about 175 so far & have hidden 15 so far. On the geocaching site I am wliedtke. Just go to www.geocaching.com & plug in your zip code to find all the caches in your area or what ever area you plug in in a 100 mile radius..you will be amazed! First one I ever found was on top of the GOLD Bar Rim trail in Moab...a great intro to the sport!
