I have been into it off and on for a couple of years now.....it can get you to beautiful trails/places/landmarks you may have never known about......and kids (if you drag them along) have a lot of fun as well. Geocaching.com is a site I am a member of....check it out.

I have tried it a couple of times. It is pretty fun...just haven't had tons of time to do it between work and school

I've done a little bit of it, but my GPS isn't great for it. My girlfriend has a nice one though, so I'm looking forward to doing it more this year!

We've got a few customers that are in to it (I work for MacVan) ... believe it or not there are guys that Geocache with USGS topo maps and compasses (and some of these guys can find a cache faster and easier than most GPS users).

I guess I need to pick up a GPS.

I went geocaching in seattle with a buddy, it was pretty cool.

if you're going hiking, you might as well geocache too

Yep, been doing it off and on for a few years. I have a travel bug that is still lost in Missouri somewhere. I dropped the bug on Paradise Island Bahama's a couple summers ago, eventually it will make it back to Denver.

The Wife, Kids and I geocache. The wife is way into it. It definitely makes the hikes/ bike rides more fun.

I keep meaning to geocache the stuff in my yard before winter snows. :D It's not fun digging through 3ft of snow and find nothing. Maybe a foot off or it got moved.

We just started Geocaching last year. So I don’t know a lot about it. I’m not to good at explaining things. But You can go to www.geocaching.com to find out more or search youtube Geocaching there are tons of video.
