How I did it: I signed up at Geocaching.com, and familiarized myself with the "rules of the game" - I realized that compromising a cache by being overly conspicuous or relocating it wouldn't be appreciated much by other geocachers. I also learned that I could hide some caches myself someday!

I went searching on my own for the first one, and brought along some friends for my second and third find. Each find was more and more exciting. :)

I went on a business trip this week, and am going on vacation next week - and love geocaching, no matter where I am!

Lessons & tips:

1. Sign up at Geocaching.com.
2. Make sure to peruse their Guide.
3. Don't overdo it - pick one or two that are easy.
4. If you don't find the cache you're looking for, take a step back, and give the area one more thorough look. But don't frustrate yourself - it's okay to move on, and come back to it another day.
5. Take some friends. :) Wear pirate hats!
