Geocaching

Geocaching is an activity that never has to end. It is an on going treasure hunt that you can play in any city around the world.



Geocaching is when you use your phone or a geo device to discover where boxes are hidden across your city, when you find the box you record you name, who you are with and the date in the note book in the box and then you take a small item that is in the box and exchange it for a small item that you will leave in there.

Items that I have swapped include big buttons, bottle caps, toy cars, paper clips, bouncy balls and many other strange interesting things.



When I first discovered Geocaching I was amazing that there were little boxes hidden all over the city to find and swap items with.

To begin geocaching you need to visit the website and download an app to your phone or buy a geomate from a sporting goods store. The app or the mate will give you directions to nearby caches and then you will need to do some hunting.



Once you become a pro at discovering caches you can create one, give it a name and add it to the website so other people can discover it.

Geocaching is a great way to discover your city and is perfect for people who just love to be outdoors, enjoy discovering new things or love having photo opportunities.
