Yes, I said without a GPSr. Believe it or not, it can be done. I've met (online) a local person who does it every day. With today's access to online information and satellite imagery you can get started in Geocaching without the up front expense of a $300-$600 GPSr hand held device. Simply by using the Maps and Satellite Images on Google Maps or Bing Maps you can zoom in on the location of most Urban caches with no problem. Rural caches are a bit trickier but can be done if you have a good sense of direction or at least a compass. You end up doing a bit more searching without a GPS to help you zone in on Ground Zero but its the thrill of the hunt that draws us to Geocaching anyway so it all works out in the end. :)
