Any Local Geocachers?

It can be fun. Beware of muggles!

Rouge, we'll have to set one up at petrol

it's like nerd scavenger hunts

"You wanna make $14 the hard way?"

It can be a lot of fun depending on where you're hunting. Our company does geocaching tours for cruise ship passengers on an Island near Ketchikan

You are so alpha in every thread

I've done it a few times. It can be cool depending on what town you're in.

What is this?

I love a good scavenger hunt. Can I drink during it?

Cachers have been approached by police and questioned when they were seen as acting suspiciously.[48][49] Other times, investigation of a cache location after suspicious activity was reported has resulted in police and bomb squad discovery of the geocache.[50][51] Schools have been occasionally evacuated when a cache has been seen by teachers or police, as in the case of Fairview High School in 2009.[52][53][54] A number of caches have been destroyed by bomb squads.[55][56][57][58] Diverse locations, from rural cemeteries to Disneyland, have been locked down as a result of such scares.[59][60]

i had no idea what the hell geocaching was until about 10 minutes ago.

But what does it all entail? Sounds interesting.

I'm very much a beginner, so I'll start with that.

Basically, it's finding little hiding spots out in the public using gps and visual clues. You then will sign the log, and if you're using the app, put that you found the cache.

I like it because I find it a good way to get exercise, as I'll park in an area and just walk to all the caches. It also is a good way to see some local sights. That being said, sometimes I'll put off a cache during the day because I don't feel like getting the police called on me because I'm acting weird.
