DH geocached without a GPS for the first time the other day. Not on purpose, mind you...
New geocache popped up late in the evening just as DH was driving home. I saw it and printed off the page, entered the coordinates into the GPS, called him to let him know and I left everything on the counter for him so when he got home, he could run back out.
DH gets home, does a few things, then leaves. About 10 min later I get a call from him. I'm thinking, "He found it ALREADY?" But no. It's DH calling to tell me HE FORGOT THE GPS.
Niiiiiiiiiiice.
Well, being the good support crew that I am, I tell him to hold on while I look at the Google Geocaching map. I bring it up and switch to satellite view. Turns out we were in luck. The geocache was in a park and ride and I could zoom in very close on the satellite map and I could at least tell him about where to look. So he gets to the park and ride, and I'm like, "Ok, count over 9 parking spaces, and head into the woods pretty much starting from between parking spots 9 and 10." Believe it or not, after a few minutes of searching, he found it! And got the FTF!!
I would not normally recommend this method of geocaching, but as you can see, it CAN be done! :-)

That's funny! If we've don't have a GPSr with us, we're lost. Pun intended!
