Welcome, Heather. Sometimes caches seem to evade you no matter how hard you
try. I think we've found some pretty tough ones, but we still haven't found

GEOMENTOR! I love it!!!
Thanks for the suggestion! I had a team log a no find on one of my
caches today. After your suggestion, I looked up his team and found
they only have 5 finds...so I took the opportunity to email him and
offer my support!
Thanks Steve for yet another great idea!
BTW, we missed you today at the picnic!:(

Welcome to this addictive game and the list serve Heather (Darsantre)! I
think we all share in your frustration at not finding some caches. We've
been there many times. But that's part of the game/hobby/sport.
If you can't find a cache, feel free to ask this list, or anyone of us
individually for help. We'll normally answer your Email privately to keep
disclosing too much to everyone. I know I'm not too proud to ask for help on
certain caches I can't find. Currently, I have 4 caches in the Phoenix area
I've visited (some more than once) and still can't find them!
As you get more experience, you'll start thinking more like the people
hiding them (usually). It makes finding them easier. However, every once and
awhile, someone comes up with a new idea or a new twist. We're constantly
surprised at where we find caches.
Hope to see you on the trails sometime!

Hiya to all you AZ geocachers!
My name is Heather (I go by Darsantre in my log sigs) and I just wanted to
introduce myself. I'm new to this sport/hobby and first heard about it on
channel 12 news. After seeing that report, I thought to myself 'hey, I can
do this!' So I bought a Garmin eTrex and went out searching. Boy has this
been a challenge! I found my first cache on Sept. 14; in 8 days I've found
10 caches. And I've been doing some serious looking!
I know to you experienced cachers, the urban cachers are "just too easy,"
but I'm getting frustrated at my lack of finding the "easy" ones. Some
sites I've been to about 5 times and still haven't come across the cache
containers. However, I love the fact that I'm up early and out of the house
on the weekends and _doing_ something interesting that I'm finding
challenging and enjoyable!
A little about me: I'm 32, single, a professional educator, have two
wonderful woofies (a Black Lab & a Lhasa Apso), love to travel, speak German
and Spanish, and am working on a second Master's degree at ASU.
I've been telling my sister in England and friends in Belgium, Hong Kong,
Germany and Kazakhstan about this sport. They've all told me to visit them
and they would gladly join me in the hunt. :)
Well, I'm sorry that I missed the potluck today, but I hope to meet other
cachers soon!
Bye for now,
Darsantre

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Are the urban caches getting out of hand?
Reply-To: listserv@azgeocaching.com
I know I'm gone but I just have to say my piece.
I have learned a lot about hiding urban caches but are a little concerned
about hinding them here in Michigan.
Early on the urban caches where creative and seemed to add to the sport of
geocaching. Lately they have become just another number in our stats. My
concern is that new cachers will find them uninteresting and unchallenging
and never really join the sport. Pretty much the same way I fell about
benchmarks and why I don't search for them.
There have been a lot of caches placed, that where placed for just the sake
of placing a cache or caches that were to close to other caches. Such as 15
feet apart or 4-5 caches in the same park.
The bottom line is there are just too many easy cahes that require almost no
skill to get to or find. Also there are just too many caches too close
together. How else could some one find 45 in a day. I beleive a fairly new
caher would be able to find over 100 in a 24 hr period..
Remember all cachers are the cache police. It is up to all of us to make
geocaching better. We are the ones that will either make this sport or break
it.
Take critisium in stride and use it to better the sport not kill it.
Geocaching will be what we make.

It is simply your opinion that the cache has no reason to be there. Some
people can only find caches that are the easier urban caches. An example
is a friend of mine who is getting interested in geocaching. Sadly his
wife has MS and she can't walk for very far. Easier urban caches, that are
there for no other reason could be there so that people who can't get out
in the outdoors have an excuse to get out and get whatever exercise they
can.

I agree with you on many aspects of your message, but when you tell someone
that they will get respect from fellow geocachers if they archive the
caches that someone might not like, that is taking this all a little too
far.

To Chicks with Trucks. We wish we had read the e-mails before we came to the
picnic to offer you our support. Our team too took criticism for caches and
still feel stung by it. Quite frankly a few cachers do sound elitist and
that is not what we are looking for in this sport. One of our team has
physical limitations and cannot do the difficult (terrain) caches. We accept
that and find other ways to amuse ourselves. We enjoyed your caches and felt
you gave to the game as much as you took from it. Please replace your
caches. We haven't felt able to speak much about caching since we are new to
it ourselves, but we couldn't be silent after reading the e-mails.

Jason - Brian;
It was great meeting the masterminds of Arizona's customized geocaching
web site again. Again, I wanted to thank you for all you've been doing
for us. I know this has been a lot of work for you. Especially with the
recent changes.
I checked out my personal waypoints this afternoon, and all works well
now. Disregard the problems we talked about at the picnic. I knew you
guys would be on top of things, and you had it fixed already. Great Job!

I use my Compaq iPAQ 3835. It is running PocketPC 2002, I have 96 MB
of Memory (32 ROM, 64 RAM). I do use your downloadable pages with the

The Toshiba PDA is awesome. It has so many features and runs the Windows
OS. I also believe it has the wireless network built into it. I know that
some of the newer IPAQs have that feature, but I am putting my money on the
Toshiba. Can you say "Great Christmas Gift".

I just want to give my $0.02 about the Palm / CE Debate. The first PDA
I owned was a Palm III, I then upgraded to the Palm V and now have a
iPAQ 3835. I love my new PocketPC PDA, however the reliability is
pretty shaky. I have noticed some problems with the iPAQ though. The
biggest is the backlighting not coming on all the time, and even when
you turn it on manually, it still has problems turning on. As far as
the OS, I'm rebooting the thing almost every other day (It is windows,
what can you expect), however the integration with the Outlook, Word,
Excel, Access, are great. Also ViaVoice is wonderful program on there.
The space is also a big plus. I guess to sum it up, if I had to buy
another PDA in the future, I probably wouldn't buy a iPAQ, but would
look for something with PocketPC OS or something that you could load
Linux on. (Toshiba is making a pretty nice one now).

Just a couple thoughts on PDA - The iPAQ has an incredible screen for
outdoors viewing plus has way too many advantages over a Palm type
machine to recount. It has great GPS software for cars (Travel Route)
and planes
(Anywhere). The iPAQ provides for a quick download and nothing like
listening to a few MP3's or qatching a movie short while on your search.
We also download pics from geocaching.com right into the iPAQ so we do
not have to print our final destination. You can keep fighting
Microsoft till your blue in the face but put Windows CE besides Palm
operating system and you have the difference of night and day.
