Geocaching...

[sammy39]

So...iam bored today and havent posted anything since I joined earlier this year...and I was wondering who here does Geocaching...?

 

[porterjack]

no

does it relieve boredom?

 

[sammy39]

I suppose it does! But I was bored so thought I would post something...theres no real connection between geocaching and boredom! But its awesome...www.geocaching.com

 

[KimmyCharmeleon]

Nah I haven't done it before, it looks tricky lol.

 

[sammy39]

Ah...no!! Its really easy...altho u can get varying difficulties of caches from super easy to really hard...its great if ur not a big fan of walking...it gives u something to do and makes it more interesting!

 

[porterjack]

so i have to go outside

 

[JanieDough]

it looks really awesome. I've been interested in it.

 

[sammy39]

Yeh...its basically like high tech treasure hunting...

 

[sammy39]

You should go try it Janie....just register for free on the wesbite and then all you need is the app on either android (Columbus, its called) or the iPhone...and then if u really liked it, u could buy a gps unit...

I would've tried it but there aren't too many in Louisiana, and I don't have a smartphone. The GPS I want is $300.

Though there are ones for $99...

 

[sammy39]

Yeh...there are some cheap ones out there that are still pretty good...
@Azazel...mock it all you want, just dont dis it til youve tried it...

 

[GoatCode]

I had some friends that did this but they always found pen caps xD I would do it if I had a device that allowed me to

 

[sammy39]

That sucks...if you have the money and you think ull do geocaching quite alot, then it is really worth it...

 

[GoatCode]

Send me something I can geocache with and I'll mail it back to you whenever I'm done with it xD

 

[sammy39]

Lol...soz...only got one GPS unit which I use..

 

[dkwrtw]

[sammy39]

LOL...www.geocaching.com doesn't need any advertisement...there are millions of members already.

I geocache and I love it. It's a good way to get in some exercise AND learn some unfamiliar areas of town. I've slacked off A LOT since my gallbladder surgery last year and REALLY need to get back into it more. There is a group of 4 of us at work that go together and we have several caches placed w/in our county. I have also tried to educate some of our officers about geocaching to help them understand WHY they may be seeing people exiting the woods w/ GPS in hand. LOL

How many finds do you have, Sammy??? I have 111 right now...hoping to make 200 before the end of the year, so I better get going!!!
