I saw a link to this article from a forum post at the Mississippi Geocachers Association. I've been "caching" for almost 6 years and have hunted for caches all over the state since moving to Starkville from Tennessee three years ago. What a great way to get familiar with a new area and to discover interesting locations that I otherwise would have never known about!
If anybody is interested in geocaching but doesn't have access to a GPS, don't worry. We regularly hold events all over the state ranging from evening meet-and-greets at restaurants to weekend campouts and cache hunts at sate parks. Events are free and open to all. We're not shy, so feel free to get in touch with a local cacher if you have questions about getting started (or hiding your own cache).
I should mention, however, that we ask that caches are NEVER buried. This helps reduce our environmental impact and fosters our relationship with the various parks and land managers who have given us permission to hide caches on their land.
