Helpful Hint

Ever in a forest and the GPS has poor reception? This is especially true for pine trees. We had this happen recently and remembered a trick I tried a while back. Go to the nearest clearing or area where the sun is shining. Wait a few minutes to get a really good lock on the GPS. Then re-enter the coordinates or click on find the hearest cache. Get a good heading and distance. You should be able to pace off the distance in the correct heading and walk right to ground zero. This technique has helped us find numurous caches that we otherwise would not have found.

Give it a try and let us know how it works for you.
