I feel like i stumbled into hogwarts

[+The Huntin' Hammetts]

I think I understand what a muggle is, not sure I get the refference though, but am I supposed to always try to avoid people seeing me find a cache. Is that part of the challenge.

 

Also planning a multi family camping trip in a state park where there are multiple caches plpus some in surrounding. Has anyone ever broken into teams in a scenario like this and made a race of finding your cache before the other guy. Any rules against that?

Yes. Reason being : if you're seen by non geocachers, they might : call the police, or come look at what you're searching for and remove / vandalize the cache.

Nope, play it whichever way is more fun for you.

In Harry Potter's world a muggle is a non-magic person.

 

In the Geocaching world - a muggle is somebody that does not know about the "magic" of geocaching.
