Geocaching!!

I went on it for the first time, I searched for three caches. Found 2/3 of them.

Has anyone done it? Do you have any tips?


GeoCaching are boxes all over the world and you have to find them

Maybe you could find it using the map and clue on your computer or device.

Re: Geocaching!!

I tried once. I failed -__-

It was quite an old cache though. Maybe someone stole it.

I first learned from my step dad.

Re: Geocaching!!

My bro and I set up one of the most popular caches in Massachusetts. People took all the stuff in the box and wrote in the notebook that we can't use a crummy tupperware and we need a new box.

Re: Geocaching!!

Geocaching is really fun c: I found a box with my teacher once, but we decided not to open it so the next geocachers would have something to find xD

I haven't geocached in years, maybe I'll start again ouo
