Does anyone here geocache?

I don't Geocache, but I do bury a lot of stuff in the woods...

I've not had this happen. Seems kinda lame. One thing I'd like to see improved is some folks description of the actual cache. My kids LOVE 'caching, but we're not into the micro and mini caches. They love trading toys for toys.

Yeah I own two caches here in TN.

My kids call it treasure hunting

Does your car one come out of the car in any useful fashion? If so, it'll do just fine.

I use my Garmin Nuvi. I found that my old eTrex was better though. I'm looking to maybe get another one.

I was able to find all but a couple of caches with my really basic Garmin Etrex, but the newer, fancier versions with WAAS, maps and such are better.

Maybe even better are iphones with Geocaching Apps

Those caches I remember NOT finding I blame on muggles in the area blocking the likely hide, and (I firmly believe) a stolen cache.

Used the built in GPS on a friends android phone + some apps. It was kinda neat, but the GPS in that phone wasn't terribly great. I don't know how the quality of his phone GPS compares with other phone ones though.
