We got addicted to geocaching years ago when it was sort of still a new thing. Then other stuff crept into our lives and we pretty much dropped this pastime. However, we continued to look back on it with fond memories of all the cool places it led us to and all the off the beaten path spots we discovered.
Well, yesterday, my husband came home and said, "let's go for a walk." And so we did and on that walk we brought back the old practice of searching for geocaches! I took pictures of the experience.
P.S. In case you aren't familiar with what it means to go geocaching, it is when you take your GPS and go searching for "treasure" that other people have hidden. All the geocaches are listed on the website and you can go and find things stashed all over the world. It's pretty cool.

ReplyDeleteTrish: Kids absolutly love doing this. And besides it's much more fun with kids too. So you should totally try it with yours. And thanks about the header! Simple, but fun I think.

I got obsessed with geocaching for about 3 weeks, but haven't done it for years. I really should give it a try again as it was fun. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI haven't gone geocaching in a long time, but I'd love to get back to it! Definitely a cool hobby :)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of geocaching until now, and it sounds pretty neat! I'm scouting so locations on the geocache map you linked to, and I think I'm going to give it a try. There aren't too many places in my neck of the woods though...
