Tips for new geocachers

These tips come courtesy of 6NoisyHikers:


1. MARK YOUR CAR - get the co-ordinates of your car or the trailhead where you started so you can find your way back home.

2. ALWAYS CARRY EXTRA BATTERIES - for your flashlight and your GPS.

3. CLEAN UP A CACHE - don't be afraid to take out swag that is damaged or inappropriate (wet stickers, tattoos, burst batteries or any unmentionables). Dry out a container if it needs it.

4. MINIMUM 25 FINDS - before you even think about hiding your own cache. When you do hide one, make sure the location means something to you and that you will be able to take care of the container.

5. WRITE A GOOD LOG - be friendly, share your experience and also let the cache owner know the status of the container: in good shape or needs some TLC.
