BullZie 0 Posted November 26, 2002 While Blkhwkfan and I were leaving a restauraunt during a day of caching, we threw out the thought of how much of an economic impact does caching have? So, just out of curiosity, I am going to throw out this poll... Now, I am no economist, and I realize that the impact is minimal so this is by no means some sort of scientific measure. Thoughts?

boreal jeff & sons 0 Posted November 30, 2002 How could you not be: 1. batteries or electricity to charge them. 2. gas for the truck 3. lunch at a restaurant (sometimes) 4. trinkets, pens, pencil, etc.... I know for a fact tourists have visited the Sault Ste. Marie area that wouldn't of if it weren't for Geocaching. I have visited areas that I wouldn't of if not for Geocaching.... Every hour spent geocaching is added to the end of your life Quote Share this post Link to post
+Solar Max 0 Posted November 30, 2002 I buy everything except batteries, because I use Lithium rechargebles. Eveything I dfo goes into the local community. (Jordan River, mostly, in the case of KFWB or Plantman caches. ) If I ain't sweatin', I ain't cachin. Are we there yet? Quote Share this post Link to post
+RobertM 0 Posted December 1, 2002 I think it depends on where and how far you are going to find a cache. For example I went to Vancouver Island on Thursday for the entire day so spent money around there (on gas, food, etc). If I was caching here like I usually do then I drive to the spot, find it, come back home again, usually without spending any money. So I think it depends entirely on the type of cache you are going for. Quote Share this post Link to post
