First Facts

Since it is the first of the month, I have decided to put this day aside to share some words of wisdom for new geocachers.  These are things we have learned through experience.

First, it is a good idea to carry a backpack.  In it you may want to put the following:

     -Extra batteries for your GPS
   
     -Pens or pencils for signing log books

     -note pad (you may want to make notes about the caches you find)

     -swag items (small toys, pencils, erasers, etc)

     -*bug spray and sunscreen* You never know know where your search will take you, and you want swag souvenirs.....not ticks.

     -mirror and tweezers.  These items will help with locating and grasping caches with ease.

Most importantly...............................................................................................................

Make sure you wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty:

looking for a cache, not poetry in motion

Hoping everyone has a great Fourth of July weekend! Remember to fly those flags proudly.

Happy caching!
