+sbell111 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 It reminds me of that cache in Europe (Sweden?) that allows you to find it virtually on-line. Quote Link to comment

Jeremy Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Ok. I don't want to dump on virtual reality here. In fact I do dabble in a little World of Warcraft. However I tend to cringe when I think of an online version of geocaching. It's definitely fun and novel but the goal of the site is to use technology to go outdoors, not to simulate it!

+will2003 Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 I was thinking of the same thing, this is ffor the non dieharders during rainy days hehe BTW anyone found it yet? I am waiting at the site for the FTFer Quote Link to comment
+Lunaverse Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 That's similar to Second Life. I still have an account. I wonder if I should go see if anyone else has thought of this... Luna Quote Link to comment

Radman Forever Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons where Bart refused to mow the lawn, but later at a fair (or something like that) he wanted to play the "virtual landscaping" game. Quote Link to comment

If any one else on here is a resident in Second Life, I would appreciate your thoughts. Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by 650,000 people from around the globe. Second Life If anyone is a resident there - my in-world AV name is Brand Woodin - drop me a IM and we can plan the first cache! There is now a Second Life group called SL Geocachers, the membership is about fifty users. There are currenly eight caches in the SL world. We are working on a new way to geocache using a virtual GPS that tracks coordinates in a more realistic way (latitudes and longitudes) instead of the <x,y,z> vector that is used in Second Life.

+Lighteye Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Wow...found it after playing in the traffic a bit. I even got to do my famous happy dance, even though I wasn't FTF! Quote Link to comment
+Jhwk Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 LAME! there, I said it. Now GO OUTSIDE and find a cache. Quote Link to comment

I see that you wrote this response in 2005, Jeremy. That may have been true then, about the goal being to explore the outdoors. But the first time a micro went on a lamp-post in a Wal-Mart parking lot, it's changed for a lot of people. There's nothing adventurous or outdoorsy about Wal-Mart. And the fact that these caches are routinely approved says to me that the goal hs shifted somewhat. Frankly if it's a choice between geocaching on Second Life and hopping in and out of a car in parking lots, I think I'd choose the former, despite what my book says about geocaching enabling people to explore the outdoors.

Jeannette www.JeannetteCezanne.com Well, there were certainly plenty of LPCs when Jeremy made that post, so I doubt that the focus has really changed that much. That being said, LPCs are not incredibly hard to avoid, if you try. Quote Link to comment
