Discover the Thrill of Geocaching with Your Family – Thanks Janetupnorth!

Thanks to your post about missing out on the Labor Day contest because you were out geocaching, I followed your link. Now my entire family and I are totally addicted!!

We signed up on the site, and although we didn't have a GPS yet, we did an easy "find" for kids yesterday without luck. Went back today and BINGO! found it right away. It is so much fun!!!

Dh said he's come across cachers while on-duty, and stopped to see what they were up to, but never gave it much thought. Now he's hooked too. We even found out there are some caches found here at "haunted" places, so he's looking forward to taking our two oldest (17 & 13) to look for those at night.

I am so glad you posted about geocaching.It is a great family activity, and I wanted to say thanks for mentioning it!

I have some family friends who do this (the son and step-dad). The love it! It has been a great bonding activity for them. Plus it's always hard to find a productive activity for middle-school age kids and the son is hooked!

The ones we have done so far because we haven't bought our GPS (going in a few minutes when dh gets home!! YAY!!) are in relatively easy-to-find locales with descriptives in the listing. They are specificially for younger children to find.
