Do you cache alone or with others?

[+Team Cotati]

Caching alone totally sucks.

 

Therefore I will never ever cache alone.

 

The day when I have to cache alone will be the day after I have cached for the last time.

I usually cache with someone else. Last night it was my son and his GF with me.

Only 35 finds so far but they have all been with my dear friend Marmelade and her brother WesMan who has an intellectual disability. I dare say that his enthusiasm for Geocaching exceeds my own; it's something that he looks forward to all week. I've thought about going out alone for a day trip, but I dunno... he brings along an extra piece of keenness / joy that I can't quite explain.

 

I know the time will come when terrain will become a factor impossible to ignore for him. I'm not really looking forward to it.

I do both, probably more alone although I like having a buddy or 10

Sometimes though, schedules don't coincide or I am traveling or my pals are going and I have other plans.

Now, they've all hit this area already. I'm not going to just not cache there because I can't find anybody that hasn't done the caches yet. Sometimes a nice solo walk in the woods is very mind clearing.

i cache solo 99% of the time. i cache in groups only at events.

sometimes i bring my kids (ages 3 and 5)

it is easier to cache with my kids because a guy walking around in circles looks suspicious, a guy walking in circles with kids looks normal.

 

if i'm caching and muggles come i pretend my GPS is a phone and i don't feel so suspicious

I generally cache alone. I don't have anyone to cache with! My family and friends aren't into it, so it's just little ole me... If I knew people who geocached in my area maybe I could cache with them, but as it is I am a loner.

 

I don't feel awkward walking around by myself, I just mind my own business and assume people will mind theirs. If someone asks what I'm doing, I tell them. It's not so bad.

Being a woman I prefer to have someone with me when I'm out in the boonies. That someone is usually one of our kids. I HAVE gone out alone at times but only if I know the area well.

[+Canids]

I always cache by myself. I would like to cache with someone else but my family does not enjoy geocaching.

 

I usually cache alone because my wife has zero interest in it.

 

In this, I consider myself lucky, as my wife likes caching as much as I do. And our 5YO son enjoys it as well. I started out caching a couple of months ago with the intent of doing it by myself, but I quickly realized it was going to be much more fun with the family along. I ended up asking for a username change from canid65 to Canids to reflect that we cache as a pack.

I do 95% of my caching alone when back in MO becuase I do not know any cachers there and I'm in a really small town so it's not like I have to worry about muggings or shootings. When I come back home to VA though I like to go out with my brother or father. It all depends on how I feel that day honestly, and what kind of caches I'm looking for. If it's just a quick one or two then I'll go by myself but if I was to do many I'll ask someon to come alone to keep me company and help me look so I don't get depressed over not finding one, after all two sets of eyes are better than one!

I don't mind caching on my own, sometimes I'll bring my 11 year old with me. Although I went to do a few caches after work tonight around 10pm. I got weirded out as I heard a bunch of guys drinking and throwing stuff into the river I was nearby... so I hightailed it outta there.

 

No cache is worth the sense of fear of what a single female in the woods and a bunch of drunks dredges up for me.
