Have you ever wanted to go on a treasure hunt? Do you enjoy
the outdoors? Would you like an activity that you and your whole family can do
together? Then Geocaching maybe the perfect thing for you!
Geocaching is an activity my mom and I started doing a few
years ago after we discovered our mutual enjoyment of hiking and received a
handheld GPS for Christmas. Since that time, we have found quite a few caches and
even convinced some of our family and friends to take up the hobby as well.
Geocaching is defined as an outdoor treasure hunt where
participants use handheld GPS to locate hidden caches. A geocache, or cache, is
a container ( some containers are very small like golf balls, others very
large, such as a hollowed out tree) that has a login where you sign your pseudonym
and can have some type of trinket that you take and replace with a different
one.
Aside from all the fun Geocaching is, it can also be really
good for you as most geocaches are hidden somewhere in the woods and can be a
long walk or hike away. The fresh air is my favorite part of the geocaching adventure
and is also really good for your health.
Another amazing part of geocaching is all the time I get to
spend with my mom! Sometimes it feels like my mom and I don’t have any time to
be together, and it’s fantastic to be able to turn off the cellphones and do
some adventuring!
I would suggest that everyone gives Geocaching a try; it can
be very fun, healthy, and beautiful, especially in the fall. For those
interested, click this link to the Geocaching website my mom and I use
sometimes.
I really enjoyed how you used questions at the beginning of this blog. It really drew my attention and made my think about the answer. I also really enjoyed how you went from a more professional view of geocaching into a personal view. Really great blog!
