    New from Conway

    Just started Wenesday... Love it !!! First find was "Out by the shop" by BSA534. Have looked for serveral more in the area but to no avail. Not sure if I can't find or they have been removed/taken. Currently using I-phone not sure how accurate it is on compass... Will be in the market for a handheld GPS. I have been researching serveral. Any reconmendations?????

    Wished I would have started in 2008 when I bought my first GPS for motorcycle. Have rode many miles from then till now could have searched many places

    Look forward to meeting others...

    Cheers

    The explorist GC is a good cheap GPS receiver. We have one and usually do pretty well in the accuracy contests at Arkgeo events. I highly recommend it for a starter unit.

    Also WELCOME! You won't find a better bunch of people anywhere. There are plenty of great caches in and around Conway. I'm sure you'll have a blast there. If you're ever in Russellville and want a tour of some of our favorites, we could easily make a weekend of them all

    And if you have the time and you're so inclined, feel free to register as a voting member at http://arkgeocaching.org/voting_booth.php?do=register

    Looking forward to seeing you on the trails!

    On a whim one day, we decided to give geocaching a shot. Being in Russellville, there weren't a lot of choices for units so we drove all the way to Little Rock Target to buy it.

    We've been hooked ever since.

    Welcome to Conway and Geocaching. I use the iphone 3 more than my hand held right now, but I do have a Garmin 60CS. It works pretty good for me. Shout if you need any help on Conway or any other caches.
