    A Scary Thought...

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    From the terrorism classes I have taken, they say that they try to cause terror to mass numbers of people which would be their objective. One explosion in a cache would not be worth their time and effort. If they were going to strike with an explosive they would want to target large numbers of people. Not saying it couldnt happen as anything could happen, but not likely.

    How lost have you been?

    Glad everything turned out OK for you guys..

    I work for the fire department and know how those things can happen before you know it.

    I also hike in the woods alot. I ALWAYS ALWAYS carry extra food and a space blanket and two glow sticks along with a first aid kit etc.. Your better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

    Again glad you guys were OK

    Kids and Caching

    I take my 3 yr old daughter 99% of the times I go. Here is what I get out of geocaching... The challange of finding a small item placed some where by someone and I have to think move and act to find it. Here is what she getts out of geocaching. Exercise exposier to wildlife and what kid doesnt love the small toys. This also teaches her about sharing. All around it is a great family hobby. We also try to place items that other kids would enjoy.

    Thanks,

    Dave and Becca

    A great day for Geocaching

    My daughter and I decided to head out today for some geocaching. We were 100% for the first time, 4 out of 4. Perfect weather! Walked about 5 miles all day. She got to play at an new park I didnt know was there. Had lunch and watched the deer across the creek from us the entire time. What a great day!

     

    One proud kid!

    Thanks,

    I am fairly new to this so forgive any stupid questions here.....

    I have spend several hours on this site reading and studying different cache types etc... I have seen some that just seem impossible. When I hid my cache I did it so that it was not in the open, but wouldnt take hours to try to find it but a little hard looking. SO I guess I am asking how far is to far in hiding a cache?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Hi guys and girls,

    I am really new to this hobby and have noticed that there are groups of people that go out and do this together. I was just wondering if anyone around my area would like to go out some time and search together? If you are interested let me know.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Found my first one today!

    We went back to the same one today. FOUND IT! She was so excited to pick somthing out and leave something. Found another one today as well. She helped me package one up and hide today. Sure beats putting them in front of the TV or playing video games.

    Thanks again,

    Dave
