[Female Geocachers?]

I'm a female Geocacher in southern california. My B/F (Cruzin!) got me into geocaching, then I got my two sons into it! We all have alot of fun. Mostly I go out caching with my B/F, he's got a jeep and a better GPS. I'm hooked though!

[Geocaching is like sex because…]

It's always a little more exciting in public where you might get caught!

[Homeschoolers?!?]

Wow! it's great to see so many home schoolers using GeoCaching! I'm new to it myself, and this weekend I took my boys out on their first two caches. We went with a good friend who has a GPSr though. I don't have the funds to get one myself just yet. So we've just been borrowing him and his.. hehe My boys loved it though and are ready to go out for more! I've home schooled them their whole lives and they are 9 and 7 now.

[GEOCACHING in education and homeschool]

I'm a home schooling mom of two boys. I took the boys on their first GeoCaching this weekend and they loved it! There's all sorts of great things to teach kids with Geo Caching, and math is just one of them.

 

My two are 9 and 7. We went on "top o'tarantula" cache and we saw a snake skin in the bushes, which was great for science. We found a birds nest, which was also science and nature. And then before we left we went around the mountain to gather up as much trash as we could find to help out the environment. And hey, that wasn't even actually part of the GeoCaching! Which they learned a little more about mapping and longitude and latitude! We'll be doing this more often, after I actually get a GPSr, instead of going with a very good friend occasionally. And hey, it's also a great way to get some excersizing done too!
