so i just joined gc.com. being brand new there i was of course not going to pay to upgrade yet, but i havent found a single cache that i havent needed to become a member to see. help!!!

Are you saying that you have not been able to find any caches that don't require you to be a premium member? Because the vast majority do not require it. I paid for one year of premium membership and didn't see the advantage to it.



You are logged in to GC.com and the caches at which you are looking say you have to be a premium member?

they say that the greyed out links are available to premium members only. am i searching in the wrong area? i am just putting in 84404 and clicking on go

[DiscGo]

I did a search in the same area and only saw 1 cache that wasn't avail to non-premium members.

If it has this icon: http://www.geocaching.com/images/small_profile.gif than it is only for premium members.



Are you looking at this same page?

just below the 'greyed out links' there are the coords to the cache.

Searching for 84404 the first cache is Climb a tree... with the coords of N 41

I am a premium member, I thought it would be worth it, if you want to put more than one cache at a time onto your gps (pocket queries). I also use the cache along a route.
