    I first heard about this is school in 2003 but there was no app and it was more rare. I'm glad to see it's still going. I've never done it before but I think I'm going to start now! If they'd had the app before maybe I could have started a long time ago. 😞 also this is a cute video! You and your daughter and the music, just so dang adorable.

      I heard about it around the same time and never done it but was hiking on a game trail behind my house yesterday and there was a tube on a tree and thats all it took for me to be interested last written log was 2017.

    The first time I ever came across a "geocache" im assuming anyway, was with my friend in 2005 when we were 8 riding our bicycles through town.
    We didn't know what we found, but thought to open it. We found $50 inside and some jewlery with a note saying "from Boone" We took it to the nearest jewelers to pawn it off. Got an additional 40 dollars for it! To us we thought we hit the jackpot and were being stalked by bad guys.

      It's true that some people would be tempted to take everything but it's an honor system and generally people who take the time to look for geocaches, follow the 'rules'. The challenge is finding the cache and the reward is really sharing something for someone else to enjoy...our kids love doing it :)
