What story have you told someone to get them to go geocaching?

[+ventura_kids]

I didn't want to go geocaching.

I wanted to do something else.

But my geocaching friend said if I geocached really fast, I would win a prize.

 

Well.... I went really fast.

 

......so where's my prize?

 

Has anyone ever told you a big fib, just to get you to go geocaching?

a friend of mine got into it and started in with the "these things are EVERYWHRE" and "this weekend we found this one that was a log but it had a secret compartment" and then threw in the indiana jones twist of adventure to it. so we all said prove it. off we go his iphone in hand and we got a group of guys searching. a hundred or so finds later i find myself driving some friends around and i say, " im gonna stop and look for something real quick" thats right i kidnapped em and made them help me find a couple. fun little adventure game we have here...

I generally just tell my daughter I'm going geocaching and she wants to come...however, we just drag her friends with us without giving them much of a choice. *grin*

"Its EASY!!!"

I tried this once... well, okay, more than once

 

"Dad! Do you hear that sound?"

"What sound?"

"The car is making a strange sound. I think we better pull over and check it out."

"I don't hear a sound."

"I do!" *pulls over at the upcoming rest area / next exit / historical marker*

"I still don't hear a sound."

"Oh, I guess it went away... hey, look, there's a cache here!"

 

It only worked the first time, though, sadly, before he got wise. But he suffers in silence.

Yeah.....

 

"We hunt for 'Hidden Treasures'"

 

Hidden treasures my aunt sally!!

There aren't any "hidden treasures".......... but I'm still looking.

"Hey, you want to go for a hike?" 5h, and 1500m of elevation later, at the top of a mountain; "Hey, ever heard of geocaching? Look at this!"
