What are some of your best geocashing websites and tools of the trade? A good Garmin handheld GPS is probably a good idea I'm assuming and of course some good hiking legs.
I use my android smart phone with the geocaching app on it. the app cost $10 and it works very well. to use your phone app you must have cell coverage. so for the times I am outside the cell coverage area and inside the coverage too...I have a Magellan GC. it cost me $140.00 and it has worked very well thus far.
for the website you use the geocaching website to do everything with caching. it is free to play. you can be a premium member for $29 a year membership. membership does have a few perks, mainly...more caches that are available to you. along with some other neat things. I recently upgraded to a paid member.
caches...some caches are right along a road or sidewalk. some are a hike in to get them. so it can be done on all physical levels.
cache sizes range in size from the size of the very end of your pinky finger to an ammo can or even bigger. there are also virtual type caches. those are a cache that you go to where it says and view/do whatever actions the directions tell you to do. those do not have a physical cache.
favorite cache that I like are any of them that takes me to an area I never new existed. that is the best thing I like about it. I have found conservation areas I never knew where a few miles away from home.
