Seek out 20 Geocaches this year

I’ve discovered my vehicle’s GPS isn’t ideal for geocaching. It takes me to the general neighborhood, but doesn’t even point me in the right direction to start walking.

Now I need to figure out whether to buy a GPS-enabled cell phone (meaning a monthly phone bill), or a hand-held GPS. Any suggestions out there?

Of course, I’d hoped to determine whether I even liked this hobby before plunking down a lot of dough on new technology. :)

It’s a beautiful Sunday and I’m tired of waiting for my partner to agree to a cache…I’ve found two within a couple of miles of our house, so am going off on my own to find them.

Wish me luck!

LATER:
- Unable to find either cache; will try again later this week.

I was recently turned on to this hobby, but have had difficulty getting my partner interested. I found my first Geocache in Verdun a month ago while on a professional development excursion. Very exciting!

We live in Europe, so have lots of opportunities to travel. I plan to seek caches everywhere we go.
