+jarduini Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 We took our 7 and 9 year old grandchildren for their first geocaching experience today. The 9 year old said, "This is better than Pokémon Go 'cause you find real things.". How true this is. Quote

When you've seen one pill bottle, you've seen them all. Quote

How true this is. that's cool. they don't realize when an awesome cache slips in some local history either... they just know the cache is awesome. congrats Quote
+Mockingbird559 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 well, one is a complete waste of time... the other is a complete waste of time, gas and money, but the most fun you can have with $Billions of GPS satellites Quote
+YooperSnowman Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Very cool. Your 9 year old grandson is wise. As for Pokemon Go, players can actually help where stealth is needed in looking for a cache. Muggles assume everyone walking around looking at their devices is playing PG, so geocachers blend in. You still need stealth when grabbing/replacing a cache, but your general hunting for a cache can be camouflaged by PG players. Happy you showed your grandkids the joy of geocaching--thats awesome.
