I was looking for one on the side of a busy street with my dad and I couldn't find it. A full-size cargo truck was in the center lane trying to make a left-hand turn and the driver shouts "hey are you geocaching? Want a hint?" And he yelled out this hint from like fifty feet away and I found it and he gave a double thumbs up. Cool dude.

When I was a kid, my dad took me, my brother, and sister geocaching almost every weekend. We all groaned and complained, especially when the weather got bad during a trip, but 10-15 years later, I miss those afternoons spent wandering through the woods. I learned how to read a GPS, visit nature without disturbing it, and best of all, got to spend time with the best dad in the world.

Had similar experiences with my own biodad and siblings. We'd use geocaching to structure our hikes, go seeking out neat places, and hoping to find a Travel Bug/Trackable to help get to their destination. I generally enjoyed it, but sometimes I groaned too, but I have a lot of fond memories of those hunts. Even managed to dragged some friends out a handful of times since! Good memories.

My favorite moment related to geocaching came when I was hiking in a park near my house. There is this big birch forest with a HUGE cliff - I was making a nature video and hiked to the top, panning across the landscape at the top. I tilted down and BOOM - big wooden crate on a ledge in the middle of the cliff. I climbed down, opened it, took a little toy and left something, then signed it. A week or two later I received an email - the geocache was made by an old friend of mine for a Scout project and we hadn't spoken in a LONG LONG time. Really great memory.

The best geocache I've ever found, I was walking around a state park looking on the ground and I couldn't find anything anywhere. I then look up and right at my eye level there's a big old squirrel on a tree right in front of me that scared the bejesus out of me. I then realize that this squirrel is not moving and is fake. Turns out the squirrel was the geocache and it had a little waterproof container that was stuck in a hole that had been drilled out *ahem* just below his tail......I laughed for so long at that cache.

My dad has been super into geocaching since about 2007, and has found over 4000 caches and set up dozens of his own ones. It was a great family activity to do growing up. We’re a pretty outdoorsy family so we would do lots of off the beaten path caches. We did a fair number of 5 star terrain caches (for a cache to have a 5 star terrain rating they have to require special equipment to access like abseiling or climbing gear), a memorable one was where we had to traverse across a canyon to get to the cache on a cliff. On the way back I slipped and badly broke my finger and that was our 2000th cache.

A couple of geocaching notes during COVID-19: *Please make sure to check websites and social accounts of local officials, parks, trails, etc for what you're allowed to do outside. For instance, where I'm at the city parks are closed, and national & state parks nearby don't allow cars to park, but you can hike or bike in. Some cache owners are leaving their caches live even when the location around them is closed so pleeeeease triple check. *If you learn that cache is unavailable during this time, make a comment in the virtual log! I'm sure people who are geocaching this time will definitely appreciate it. *If you live in busy areas, pleeeeeeeeease bring your own pen, and if you're fortunate enough, bring some hand sanitizer. Caches are touched by hundreds of people, over the course of months. So. Stay safe. *Read the description carefully. It may tell you where to park, enter, etc. Sometimes caches are on the side of the highway that may make things dangerous if you don't pay attention. *If a cache is broken, water logged, stolen etc. make sure to comment that on the virtual log.

Yes, it's a judgment call everyone needs to make in their region if they're legally still allowed do what geocaching requires. Safest is give it up for a bit, but if it's not illegal, then be clean and safe while doing it! In many areas it's most likely safer than many 'essential' activities :)

It's interesting to think geocaching might be in a lull right now -- with technology how it is, I feel like geocaching could go absolutely mental now. Imagine finding like, an Augmented Reality QR code on a card in a geocache that has a hologram message or something like that. The possibilities feel literally endless.
@cachetheline

Absolutely! I don't personally think it's in a lull - there are more people joining and trying it out (especially now during the crisis) but the past few years Geocaching HQ has been trying out loads of ways to invigorate the game with souvenirs, challenges, loads of collectible items, games, social events... I think it's very different from those early years (though the core is still the same!) but so are people :) It's awesome right now! They even tested out an AR geocache type for a while to see how it would fare, given so much of the community uses smartphone. I made an AR cache that utilized a local movie theater's movie times billboard :) And you sure can put things into a geocache that use augmented reality - like personalized calling cards.

There was an awesome Geocache in Glasgow that was a little magnetic bullet thing stuck behind a pipe in an alleyway off Argyle Street. When you unscrewed it there was a little scroll inside where anyone who found it could write their initials and the date. Eventually someone stole it. :( Ooh, thanks to watching this video, I now know it was a 'nano' type cache.

Ahhh the infamous nano cache! Those can be super evil. It may have been stolen, but I'd bet it fell and got lost in the rain or being kicked or something. They can be awful for that. And signing those in the cold is just awful. haha

Word of advice for anyone that wants to geocache with their family: DON'T GO OVERBOARD. My mom would make it so almost every weekend or everywhere we went we had to get at least one geocache. We're in deep south Texas, it's HOT, there's tons brush, thorns, cacti, etc and most of the ones she'd pick were all up in that business. She would plan out like 30 to 50 and expect us to be engaged and having a good time. I was a little kid and I totally agree with Justin that geocaching is a great way to see things that you normally wouldn't, but my mom made geocaching feel like an absolute garbage chore that was all about numbers. I haven't geocached in years and I would like to try again, but now every time I think about doing it I just remember how miserable I felt and decide not to. DON'T. GO OVERBOARD.

Oh man, that's unfortunate. One benefit of solo geocaching is you don't have to worry about other people being on board. We have many geocachers around here who are married or have children and they're the only ones out geocaching most, if not all, of the time, probably on the agreement that it's "their thing" :). I think if you find someone who loves it as much as you do, you're quite fortunate! Maybe you could try it out again, find a friend or two who you enjoy geocaching with, or just go out solo, and explore!

My family used to do this all the time in the Cali desert when we rode dirtbikes and quads. Super fun to just hop on a bike and find something cool. Best one we found was a small bottle drilled into a rock. Had one for a while that we checked in on every trip/few trips, but we moved away and it ended up water-logged. Definetly some good memories though.

I remember we actually had a unit in middle school P.E that was all about geocaching, we even had this fancy schmancy little phone type device that we used to find the ones that were hidden throughout our little town. In high school I took a photography class where we got to go on a field trip to a huge state park with huge climbable cliffs and stuff like that where me and my friends accidentally stumbled upon a cache hidden in a cracked rock !!! There was a notebook to write names in it and the next year when we took a different photography class we found it again ! Every time I go back to that park I always make an effort to try and find it
