Shaun_300 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Anyone do this? Man is it a blast. My dad got me into it! Spent all day Friday looking for caches and found 13. Then we found 4 today on the way home. Fun to use the GPS a lot. If you're interested in doing it or wanna know more about it visit www.geocaching.com It sure is a fun outdoor pastime.

redkneck Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've looked at that site a few years back, looked like a great way to spend some time. Weren't many spots in my neck of the woods back then, probably more now. Wish I could find some coords on some decent turkeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 There's a few around here in the local state and county parks, but I've never done them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisha Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Shaun, were any of the geocache's big enough to leave something in? And if so, was there anything in them? I think on one of Justin's days off from work I'll see if he wants to go do this as it sounds like so much fun! I'll probably bring along a couple small items, toys, pins, etc. with us to drop in the cache to leave for others when they find it. Such a cool idea!

Dawg Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I downloaded some on my GPS a few months ago but haven't went out looking for them yet. Sounds like fun, I may get out and do that this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've heard of the phrase but never knew what it was until today. Looks like fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 my sister and her husband are big into it, there always looking, and have found a ton of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 It is a absolute hoot! I thought it was kind of dumb til I went with my dad the first time, I was hooked. It's almost like a treasure hunt without the golden prize. They can be hidden under rocks, in trees at a reachable height, in the top of a fence post, in tree trunks, anywhere! They caches themselves can be as small as a 35mm film canister, or a bit smaller, up to big 6" ABS pipes that are 18" long with the screw on lid all camo painted. You find anything in them, coins, toys, balls, lots of different things. You can take something and leave something, or you can just sign the log with your gecaching member login name and not take anything. It's a really fun way to spend some time in the outdoors.

Shaun_300 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 For anyone trying to figure out what to get for a GPS, I have a Garmin Oregon 450T, what a user friendly thing to operate! No owners manual required, All touch screen, works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterbobb Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I've been thinking about getting into this but I haven't started yet. :gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawn09 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 My mom just ordered one of the geo things...for the family to try it out. Sure sounds neat to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiepredator Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Never even heard of such a thing until now...sounds kind of neat though. I can't see too many being hidden around where I live, let alone anywhere in Saskatchewan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hey Shaun I just looked it up and I see there are a few here on the Island...next time you are here we will have to look them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Brandon, you'd be very surprised, I thought the same about the Ottawa Valley, but there are lots! The city of Ottawa has hundreds, just zoom into that area on the website and look.:jaw: Hey Shaun I just looked it up and I see there are a few here on the Island...next time you are here we will have to look them up. Yeah for sure Joe! I'll bring the GPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
