Yup, I’ve done it…been a casual geocacher for around 5 years now. Haven’t done any in a long time though this post did inspire me to look for one nearby urban cache…was a DNF for me. I think I just need someone a little taller then my 5 ft 1 inch stature…lol Glad you’ve found the hobby and are enjoying it.

No but that sounds like so much fun! I’m sorry for your loss of Delilah, our current GPS navigator is named “Susan.” She’d do great on these adventures!

Okay, this does look like fun, and it definitely looks like your kids enjoyed it! We will definitely be working this activity into one of our upcoming family weekends!

We have done letterboxing…which is similar but done the old-fashioned way…without a GPS.

My sis-in-law does this with her kids and they have so much fun with it! I love the idea. Kind of like flashmobs – I just love seeing strangers come together JUST FOR FUN. I can’t wait until my kids are old enough to do it.

We love geocaching! We started before gps was available when it was known as letterboxing. Our most exciting ones were on Disney property in Orlando and at Williamsburg in VA. Just be careful of potentially poisonous plants (poison ivy) and wild critters living in the same hole as your find. We made some awesome memories! Have fun!!!

Totally unrelated, but I tried that Metromint water – the chocolate version – and your daugher’s right. It does taste like a peppermint patty.

Have not geocached because we have no GPS, but we letterbox all the time. I blogged about it too at http://rodriguezrockstars.blogspot.com/2009/09/did-you-find-treasure.html I agree that the best site for finding clues is letterboxing.org I actually had my 4th grade class (Apache) do research and we made our own letterbox. You can read about it at http://rodriguezrockstars.blogspot.com/2010/05/letterbox-field-trip.html There is a link there to the clues. To any teachers out there, letterboxing is a great activity (free) with your students!
I’m glad you blogged about geocaching. Maybe more families will start to do it. And I love that tagline.
