Hide stuff anywhere in the world, post it's GPS, and people will
seek it out.

4. I'm so far out of the loop.

All of my kids are gone---they used to keep me more up-to-date.

9. I used to do it around town with kids from the library

like 15 years ago. I see they have really updated the activity. You can sign on to a site that notifies you of geocaches in your area and if you set the cache they can notify you if people are searching for it. The kids loved the cheesy prizes.

6. I have friends who have been obsessed for years with this...

..I never saw the point.

14. I never did either and don't especially enjoy being out in the elements...

That said, it's a great hobby for kids. My boys would go with their dad almost every weekend for a while when they were younger and would have little adventures along the way. Plus, it probably helps with spatial skills, etc. I had no idea it was still going on and am glad to hear it.

7. I did for a few years.

It really is fun.

We only stayed local in VA but it was an adventure to go on, which made it a special outing to share with fam and friends!

You can also go to the Letterboxing site. That is what I used to do.

8. If I post the GPS coordinates of my garbage will someone take it away? n/t

[NightWatcher]

11. No, but you can put your junk into empty Amazon boxes and leave it on your front porch.

Then those vultures who steal packages will be long gone before they realize that they've been had and it's on them to throw it away.

10. My son in law has been doing it or a long time

The girls like going they call it treasure hunting

12. I love love geocaching

My best friend and I do it all the time. We call our little team. Team Free Will 3.0. We both love Supernatural and well...if you've seen it you'd know what I meant by that

13. I think we have 2 on the ranch.

Of course I'm a bit of a Ludditte and only know the general locations.
