Hi, Carol!

To quickly answer a couple of your questions...

Geocaching.com is the main, worldwide geocaching web site. It hosts all the information regarding geocaches, etc.

GeocachingMaine.org is a loosely associated group of (mostly) Maine geocachers. On GCM.org, we chat, plan local geocaching events, and generally talk about Maine geocaching.

Don't delete either identity. Both web sites are very important for Maine geocachers.

I usually send a welcome message to all new members of GCM.org, and I think I sent you one on Oct 10th. It should answer a lot of your questions. (If you don't have it, let me know and I'll resend.)
