zachslusser Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hey everyone, just wanted to know if anyone on here does geocaching? I just got into it and it is pretty fun. For those of you who dont know what it is, it is like a global scavenger hunt using a GPS and coordinates. People will hide containers then post their gps coordinates on a website and you can look for them. Let me know if anyone does this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flick92 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I don't but that sounds interesting. Do you have to be able to travel the world to do this... It sounds expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachslusser Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 no flick the reason i say worldwide is because most likely there are caches(pronounced cash if you dont know) all over and most likely their are some by you to. all you need is a GPSr and internet. i used geocaching.com check it out and let me know if you have ne other questions.

NUBBS Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Ive done it a bunch of times. We always found just unless crap. So if you like just looking or "hunting" for stuff, its fun. But if you actually want to find something cool, you'll be pretty disapointed. Normally the good ones are hard to find or hard to get to. Also a word to the wise, if you do it at night avoid those a-hole cops, cause they wont believe you. Oh yeah, and avoid the signs with 1000 Black Widows in it.

Tati Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 So, I read this here, went downstairs, and in the community college class catalog, there is a geocaching class. And I knew what that was, and I felt special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
