+julieinmichigan Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Greetings from a newbie. I'm in South Haven and have just become interested in geocaching. I went to one event in Lansing and was surprised to learn that there are 'probably' events closer!!! Hubby is not interested but that's ok cuz I need to make some new friends while he does things that interest him more. Anyone local interested in helping a newbie get going? I sure hope we have some events here in southwest Michigan. Julie Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 While I wouldn't call your area barren of caches, I think you'll find the Coloma, Watervliet, BH/SJ are south have plenty.

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hmmm... comes up proper for me But, finding Events are easy.. Use your [local] search function on GC.com opening page; Near top, click on "Map this Location"; Zoom out just a bit; If not already visible, on the left boarder (arrow) open the Legend window; Hide all cache-types except for the Event-type caches; Close that Legend window; Any and all caches now displayed are Events. I see additional Events in New Buffalo; Buchanan; 3 north of Holland; 4 in Grandville; Plainwell and Portage. Not that they are real close to you, but they are opportunities.

+julieinmichigan Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks, the link is fine now - probably just a user-error, lol. I attended the Ice Cream Social in Plainwell. Thinking about buying my first handheld gps tomorrow - heading to Grand Rapids for some other events and will probably find some caches while I'm there. Thanks for the support! julie Quote Link to comment
