Geocaching and wheeling.

If you don't know what Geocaching is. goto www.geocaching.com and watch the video on the front page.

Anyways I planted on up at Evan's 5 years ago. I was just up there today because the last person to log in ws back in Sept of 09. So I thought maybe ti didn't make it through the winter. But it's still there. If you would like to search for it, here's the link


Here's some more that are in the evan's creek area. LINK
I had one out a Tahuya too, but it got ran over by a wheeler not staying on the trail. So I pulled it to let the area grow back over. I think it's ready to be planted again, so the next time I'm out there I'll have that one ready again.

Might have to try this. I just downloaded a Geocaching app.

I did too on my G1 android. Looks like exactly what I was looking for. I was considering buying a new gPS until I saw this app. BUT......

On the G1's maybe not Droids, or Iphones, but on the G1 if you don't have cell phone signal you cant search the area. So that kinda sucked, because I tried to use it up at Evan's today.

I have a Droid. I had no signal last night, but I remember that my GPS still worked, as I played with the compass app, and also the Star chart app worked, so I might try this Geocaching stuff next time if I can.

I don't know how accurate my phone's GPS is though.

I heard they are pretty accurate. One of the best to be exact. I have an older Garmin GPSIII that puts me right on top of the coordinates given.

But if you have GPS then you can save the geocachings for offline use.

Despite what people will try to tell you, the iPhone will not give you a GPS readout without a cell signal.
