Good morning, I have been reading through the thread and I thought I might give my prescriptive on Geocaching as a new Geocacher. A bit off topic, more about how to increase interest. I am in my late 50's and new to the hobby. I have heard of Geocaching before but never had much interest in it. What changed is I joined a walking class where we walk the trails in some local parks. The park's website advertised Geocaching as an activity, so I started Geocaching at the parks because I was already there for class. I also do POTA, which is a ham radio activity at State and National Parks. I also geocache when I do that activity. For me Geocaching for me is not a stand alone activity but a fun add on activity when I am already at the park. So as a hunter, I am going to search for caches at parks and places where I participate in other activities rather than just stand alone places (like a cache in a empty parking lot). I would think interest may increase if people were aware how it could be paired with other activities.
