I know a ton of people who regularly get out in the fresh air, GPS in hand and spend a few hours, or a whole day, searching for caches in out of the way places. They do it for the love of the great outdoors, because it’s a great family activity and because it’s free!
My son and his wife are in their mid-twenties and are the non-geekiest people I know. Fit and active, they scuba dive, sail, ski, snowboard, and go geocaching when they can. My sister is in her sixties and loves the activity as a way of entertaining her five grandchildren when they come to stay. We have friends in UK who take their children camping and plan geocaching as part of every vacation. This is an activity that suits every age, and since there are caches in towns, cities, villages and country areas around the world, it is one of the most accessible games you can play.
Get going….pick up a handheld GPS, register at geocaching.com and get out to the great outdoors!
