Geocaching is cool and good and sometimes requires hiking out in the wilderness talk about it here.

Do you use a smartphone to find your caches? A dedicated gps? A bloodhound trained to pick up the scent of aspergers?

geocaching's not so bad i once found a geocache by accident and it had a visitor book with a wide range of people's messages in it (seemed to be a lot of geek dads + kids) and was in a cool location (wreckage of a world war 2 plane that crashed on a training mission out on the moors)

That reminds me... If you're ever in San Francisco and visit the Presidio, go hike around the cliffsides. There's a bunch of old WW2 gun emplacements there that I thought were neat to go look at. Frankly I'm suprised nobody's renovated them into a concrete house with a god-tier view of the bay like those French WW2 bunkers.

I instruct people in Geocaching, but I kind of hate it? They refer to non-geocachers as muggles ffs.

white people ruin everything e; quote:When a muggle approaches do, do not start walking away quickly, run away, or jump into your car and drive away. This will create even more suspicion, and the muggle will probably think that you've committed a crime.

My hiking buddy and I have found geocashing websites a great place to learn about parks and more importantly, parking areas, that we haven't found yet. We have also discussed starting our own offshoot where you hide airplane bottles of liquor in the woods and people drink and replace them when found.

(not that active) geocacher here. Only 130 finds until now, placed my own cache, and got a couple of lackey tags on my way around the world. Normally I use either a dedicated GPS (Garmin eTrex 10) or my smartphone.

I like it because I like having a constantly-rotating hoard of trinkets. I mostly geocache while I wait for buses, but I'm in Seattle so there's pretty much one within 1/4 mile of my location at all times.

109 finds over 8 years here. I use a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx. Back when I got started phone GPS were a little too dodgy to rely on for my liking. You can make Geocaching as easy or hard as you want. Some caches are literately old film canisters tucked in a street sign less than a foot off a side walk. Others are nestled in ship wreckage somewhere in lake Michigan(actual cache: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC1D6ZQ_fireboat-shipwreck-divecache). I usually like to go find caches in parks and just crisscross in B-lines from cache to cache off the trails. I always see things I've never seen before on the way to each cache; plant formations, tree shapes, odd terrain. Geocaching is more of an excuse to explore patches of wilderness in the local parks for me.

The only cool geocaching story I've heard came from a friend who was in SF. Another team had gone and somehow gotten a cooler full of beer to the top of some difficult peak in North Carolina's mountains, and buried it there for another team to find. It was my friend's team who found it, so they got drunk on top of a mountain. Seems like the only real way to do it.
