Geocaching is a game. Not your conventional game though. You don’t sit inside staring at a screen or roll dice to buy properties (even though both of these things are super fun). Geocaching is a game that forces you to be outdoors. In almost every state in the U.S. and several countries around the world there are multiple Geocaches. A Geocache is a container ranging in size from a small pill bottle to a shoe box and sometimes bigger. When found the contents usually contain 1 piece of memorabilia from the last Geocacher to come across it and also a log book to document your find. So in order to find one you’ll need a compass, GPS device or app on a smart phone. You can go to the official website/app on smart phone for a list of GPS coordinates to locate and find Geocaches. For the more advanced cachers there are harder to find caches that require you to decipher a set of clues. So far I’ve found a few in Washington and 2 in Oregon. I won’t give details of my finds as that would spoil the fun for those who live near me in the Northwest. I hope Geocaching lives long and well into the future, because it’s definitely good to put down the controller and get outside.
