Geocaching

I've got a little over 100 here in central IN. I'd be more than happy to take some folks out to find some.



*holy thread resurrection batman!

I wanna try this out really bad. Sounds awesome. Unfortunately I dont have a GPS, and I doubt there would be many Caches in and around my area...

actually, I bet you would be REALLY surprised!

I'm a Geocacher up here in Fort Wayne. I've been caching since 2003. I love it!

Thanks Clay. I looked at some GPS's on ebay and some of them are actually very cheap. I'm for sure gonna have to get one

Nope never even heard of it I climb mountains. not searching for for cordinates.
Looks like a family event rather then an adventure.

We do it. We got our first 100 in under two months. We have really slowed down now, we do them when we have time our 4 y.o. girl is always asking if we can find one. Mommy wants it to cool down a bit again.

depends on what kind you want to do. Some of them are probably tougher them a lot of mountains you might have climbed.

Last time I checked there were right our 12,000 in Indiana. No that is not a typo. There are nearly 900,000 worldwide.

To the mountain climber I am sure your sport is cool but my 4 and 2 year olds can do this with mommy and daddy... they have even spotted them before we did. They get to learn trading skills and get a "prize" in return.

Check out Athena's Curse (the sequel), it is in NC and has to be done at night. there is another nearby that people do during the day between, it usually takes more than one night to complete it.

When you go to the biggest the rest are small
Edit. Thats what I was getting at.lol fun for the kids like it should be. We all learned at some point. I'm happy people are out walking /hiking. Its not the norm anymore but it should be.

I never got into geocaching, but I was into Letterboxing for a while. It is similar to geocaching except you don't use a GPS to find the stashes. You use a compass and follow posted clues.

I have found a couple of letterboxes before. One on accident as I found it while Geocaching. Luckily I have a stamp and know how letterboxing works!

Any of you Geocachers who want to attend a super-dee-dooper event this weekend should check out Moonshine 09!

Yeah, yeah, its in Illinois, but its a great time with great BACON cheese burgers (aka Moon Burgers) in Moonshine, IL (about a 1/2 hour south of Marshall, just over the border).
