Both of us are new to Geocaching. Turns out, the outdoors is a pretty cool place to explore.

This is parenting done right! My son and I just started geocaching. We're horrible at it, but we love it!

I love to go geocaching to. I found 3 yesterday

Geocaching is an absolute blast. Out of curiosity, where are you located? I've got a couple bugs across the nation, and one that migrated
CrazyGuyOnABike
all the way over to Norway somehow, but it'd be cool if I met someone who grabbed one of them.

Don't forget to put something back into the boxes after you took something.

Always. :)

There's not much to do for "almost" free with 4 kids. We've been geocaching for almost 4 years now. Good times.....and no computers.
makeforlifeworkshop
Yes. This. I get so tired of my kids just wanting to be in front of a screen. I want them to breathe fresh air and step in streams
jjbeanboy
geocaching is a great thing. ive been doing it for 13 years and have found 2000+ caches
catchup22
I've a pretty casual geocacher. Got about 50 or so finds thus far.
AmericanLemonHorror
Yeahh Carolina Panther fans rocking the geocaching! There is one at queen's university, try to find it! (if you guys are in NC!)
makeforlifeworkshop
We are, but we're in Wake Forest. If I'm ever in Charlotte, I'll take a look

The FP is strong with this one.

There are some super-creative geocaches in Papago Park, in Phoenix AZ. Look for ones near you with lots of favorite points on their site.

Good work. How does one get into this? And what do you find?
ShaunDreclin
Usually you find keychain sized trinkets and things
makeforlifeworkshop
Geocaching.com has all the resources. Or get the app on your phone. A little research and a good pair of trail shoes will go a long way
paulio101
I use the c:Geo Android app, uses your Geocaching.com account to see all the caches on a map, great UI

Funny story... I wasn't feeling very well yesterday, but my son made a comment about how gross it was to get muddy. 1/2
zeemode
Way to be there @OP ... Presence not presents...
makeforlifeworkshop
My response: "Get your shoes on right now!" We ended up finding 6 yesterday. Little-man put 5 dirty miles on his legs and loved every second

OK, but how do I get that dope Kung fu panda shirt

That's awesome, OP. I just planted my first cache. It's a fun hobby.
Sherrif91
Good on you!!

That's so awesome! Way to dad!

You seem like a good dad.

@OP, how old is your kid?? I've been thinking about trying geocashing with my map-obsessed 3-year-old
makeforlifeworkshop
He'll be 6 in a month or so. I don't know your kid, but at 3, you're doing it more to get them acclimated to being outside.
makeforlifeworkshop
At least with my son, 5 was the perfect age. Any younger and he would've burned out on it
DrFreakBerg
That wasn't funny in the slightest
AirshipEngineer
true, but I have heard many worse stories told under the context of "funny story". So I still can appreciate it.
LoNeSt4r
Totes excited about doing stuff like this. I've got a few more years to go, he's only two.
echoechoecho
Same. Mine's only 9 months but as soon as he understands presents and can walk: that's us!
bananatootes
I take my 2 year old daughter out geocaching with my 7 month old. We just do more simple ones.
weliveinaspaceshipdear
I super want to get into geocaching with my kids (6&8) both for fun exploration and to teach orienteering/map reading. No idea how to start.
disruptard
So easy! https://www.geocaching.com/guide/
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Thanks! :)
makeforlifeworkshop
Geocaching.com or download the app. Since this got so many up votes, maybe I'll put together a post soon on how to get started.
imcurrentlyatabar
Yes please! Geocaching is fun. More people should be able to play too!
weliveinaspaceshipdear
That would be awesome! I have the app but I'm still kind of confused on where to begin. It seems to assume a basic familiarity I don't have.
makeforlifeworkshop
Use the app to locate a cache (some aren't available unless you subscribe), then just go out and try to find whatever is hidden 1/2
makeforlifeworkshop
Some require clues, most have swag (take something, leave something), most have a log book to sign. Read up on it, it's a lot of fun
