Before going Geocaching, I did a little research. I found an article on Online Athens, that gave a little description. They related it to treasure hunting as a kid, which I thought sounded really fun. I also joined geocaching.com. It tells you everything you need to know about the rules, etiquette, recording your adventures, etc. I also downloaded the app, which made it easier to find the caches. At first, I thought we were going to be geocaching experts. Although it took us a little while, we found the first cache pretty easily. We were really amused by all of the little toys we found inside. We didn't have much luck with the other two caches. We traveled through woods just to find they were missing or had been trashed. I would have liked to find some more caches, but the free app would only let me see three caches. I think geocaching really promotes creativity. Everyone has to find different ways to hide the caches, make up different locations, clues and put something creative in the box or container. I think I will continue to geocache for fun!
