What is Geocaching?

Get the app:

I thought there wouldn't be any around me but there was a cache up the street o.o

The funny thing is that I once stumbled across and plastic box with a bunch of random shit in it while I was hunting. I thought maybe some kid forgot their stuff so left it figuring they'd come back for it. Now looking back it was probably one of these things. I love the concept and I can't wait till it's warm enough to go out and try it on purpose.

My dad and I went looking in a forest for one. It was really hidden. It was off a bike trail about 20 paces in. I found it by complete accident I stepped on this log and looked down and it was there behind it. It was raining and my dad kept wanting to go home. It was really fun. The GPS was kind of fickle though. I think it gets you in the vicinity of the cache/treasure but at some point you just got to look with your eyes for it and not trust it so much.

I read a few comments and would like to add a positive note.  This could get the family together and make a fun adventure and the payback is that you're trying an interesting adventure and the children are safeer than if they were sent out alone.  Best Wishes to you all.

There's a secret entrance to my backyard most people don't know about. Right at the entrance of the entrance, there is a I've driven by one literally 1, 000x and had no clue it was there. I'm really pumped to find others now!!

Shame there are so many negative comments, here. Obviously geocaching isn't for you, and that's fine.

I have three young sons who love the sense of adventure, like to think they're pirates finding treasure, and also getting out in the fresh air. Given half a chance they'd be nose to nose with an iPad all day. For us, geocaching is great.

If it's not your thing, then enjoy what you like doing, and don't rain on everyone else's parade.

Geocaching is very nice . It can be combined with hiking, cycling, diving, climbing on the rocks, and many other activities

I love geocaching here in the UK ! Happy Geocaching to all the Geocachers in the World - Simball :)

I'd like to see Geocaching lap over with Urbex. It would be like stumbling upon a long-abandoned hotel & being the first one to sign the guest book in 20 years. Explorers could leave photos in the cache of other abandoned places they've explored.

I would’ve never thought that in my small village are these geocaches but then i looked on the map and there were so many

Geocaching is so much fun!! It has taken me to so many interesting places! I have learned so much! It is like an analogy for how the world really is: [normal life = visible world (sensory world) = Church Militant] -- [hidden geocaching reality = another hidden dimension discovered by the intellect with the aid of hints, clues, maps, GPS, and Divine Inspiration = Church Triumphant].
Truth and/or Reality is composed of the seen and unseen. Geocaching gives us insight into another truly present world. I just love to learn; there is so much to apprehend in our world!

I'm so addicted to geocaching now someone please help me. 😂

So basically, you can't take all the loot, just trade items in it and document it?

[kimbuc]

I really love geocaching. It's amazing the places it takes you to that you had no idea where even there. I love finding them when I'm on holidays too. I've just got into the social side of it all. I could travel the world with the people I now know. Maybe I will !!!

Some people don't know about geocaching and they are called muggles

[Kholaslittlespot]

I'm already planning putting one of these in the middle of nowhere. What's involved with maintaining the caches?

[emilymuro]

It's all about the hunt. Just another way to stay active and a fun way to keep your brain in shape too.

A lot of shade things happen at the bottom of my street and like 7 years ago I saw a lady hide a mint box around a lamp at the bottom of the street so I thought it must be some kinda weird drug deal so when she left I took the box home and opened it and there was a peace of paper and a pencil in it and it took me like 4 years to find out it was a geocache
