Is it poosbile to Geocache without a GPS? YES! I did a multicache yesterday (a cache with more than one coordinate. One coordinate leads you to the next, so on and so on.) and found the final stage without my GPS. Here's the lowdown:
The first coordinate that I had had me in a guys backyard. Well, technically I wasn't in his yard, but I was close enough that I was just waiting for him to call the cops on me. I love Geocaching, but it's not worth getting arrested for! So, I left that area. Now, I had a travel bug that I picked up in HI and I needed to get rid of it. This was my last cache for a few days and I really wanted to get it done. From the description of the cache from the website I had a pretty good idea of where the final cache was. I wanted to place one in that same area, so I figured I'd take a look and hope it was there.
I parked my car and started the hike (without my GPS unit). I rounded the pond, found the tree, looked under the loose concrete and there it was! Exactly where I thought it would be and where I wanted to hide my cache (if I ever decided to hide one). I was disgruntled that day from previous caches, but I was glad to give the travel bug a new home and to be done for the day. I found 2 of 4 caches. Very disappointing.
So...I am super horrible at geocaching, yet super amazing at the same time. Maybe I should always go caching without a GPS! Maybe I'd do better:)

I want to call you crazy, but I totally understand. I just got finished setting up six geocache routes, each averaging 3.5 miles, in the Black Hills. I loved every minute of it! I love geocaching and I'm thinking of getting my own gps unit for Slovakia....
