FlamingBrad Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I have a 12 year old that's getting into geocaching. He's found all the caches within 2km. What would you reccomend him to do to get to the farther away caches? (other than me driving him) Quote Link to comment
FlamingBrad Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 I know that seems obvios, but we live near big hills. I'm talkin 1km long at least. Just thought of carpooling with his friend, an avid geocacher. good idea? Quote Link to comment
Donald, Daisy and Kids Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 bike? Walk / run? motorised scooter? but I dont think he should be hitchhiking at 12 though! lol Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Is there another responsible adult that can take him? Geocaching is an awesome way to spend time with family. Quote Link to comment
Donald, Daisy and Kids Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 So long as you know the person that is his geocaching friend, and you trust them then I dont see a problem with that. So long as youre happy, your kid is happy, and there is trust there, then its really a matter for you to decide. Quote Link to comment

+Knight2000 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 #3 I meant like their other parent or a grandparent. I wouldn't let my kid go with someone i don't know. But that is up to you. Quote Link to comment

Check the above post ^ Donald, Daisy + kids, I like the motorized scooter idea. Any good priced ones you can think of? If you look on ebay there is always very good priced motorised (electric or petrol) scooters. I have even been seeing alot of motorised bicycles lately that have pedals as well as a motor. Here in Aus we can buy such items for a few hundred $$ so in the US they should be about half that. Quote Link to comment
