br!t3r Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Are there any fellow rebels out there who like to geocache? I love geocaching and as a bonus you get exercise while you do it! What are you guy's thoughts on geocaching? Quote Check out my weight-loss blog http://www.fitterbritter.wordpress.com Link to comment
Moralitea Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've done some casually with some friends just to have another thing to do outside during the nicer months. I find that many of the places we've found them in are places we already frequent, which makes us look at them in a whole new way. It's very fun to realize that soemthing's been hiding under a bridge the million times you've walked over it! I think the most touching one I've found was a memorial dedicated to a couple killed in a car crash. It had a photo album of them and letters from their loved ones. Very unique, and I think an awesome way to keep the memory of a loved one alive. I'm certainly not hardcore like some people who go out and buy a gps unit and make clubs though. That strikes me as a little too obssessed. 1 Quote Moralitea, Level 2 Flind Assassin{STR 3|DEX 2|STA 4|CON 4WIS 2|CHA 2} Incepto Ne Desistam. Previous Challenges: 1, Link to comment
Elastigirl Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Love it! Hubby and I are avid geocachers. I have found lots of new parks and trails while searching for caches. It is a fun way to get out and hike. Hoping the weather is decent enough we can get some caching in this weekend. 1 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment
Thilde Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 My hubby just bought me a GPS for my birthday, for geocaching! Of course my birthday is in January and everything around here is covered in about 3 feet of snow, with more on the way, so I have to wait until better weather. But I have been researching a lot online. I found a listing of several caches in my area and I have been getting email updates when people find them, so I know they're still active. Can't wait to get outside this spring and put my GPS to use. 1 Quote Link to comment
Spider-Doug Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm into it. I love exploring new places in my city that I didn't necessarily know about. My friends are into it too - although not as much as me - and they help me hunt for them every now and again. 1 Quote STR0 DEX0 STA0 CON0 WIS0 CHA0 Link to comment
Anaticula Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I've done it a few times and it was really fun, but I got out of the habit as the GPS on my phone isn't very reliable and I didn't find a whole lot even though I looked. I'm hoping to get back into it again. 1 Quote Current Challenge: Late start, but here at last. Level 6 Magikarp Past Challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 My NF Character and Epic Quest! Link to comment

They almost always leave some sort of clues, just make sure you don't give up too easily! Quote Check out my weight-loss blog http://www.fitterbritter.wordpress.com Link to comment

There have been so many different parks, trails and scenic places I would have otherwise never found had it not been for geocaching!

kingclumsy Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I used to go geocaching lots. Though without a GPS which was hard, did it using smartphone and memory. My fiance got me into it as she did it at Guides and Rangers. Quote Level 3 Roller Knight STR:3 DEX: 1 STA:2 CON:3 WIS:4 CHA: 2 Current Challenge: None Link to comment
