Hell yeah, I love caching. I’m not a fanatic about it but I do it from time to time. A friend and I do it on motorcycles every couple months since we don’t like to ride fast anymore. I like to use Nalgene bottles for the ones we hide since they’re more watertight and stronger. I put stickers, rocks with holes in them, and little polaroids of my pets in them.

I think this one is the best one I’ve found. I wasn’t even caching. I got caught in the rain on a bike ride, so I ducked under a tree at the entrance to a driveway into a government office complex to wait it out. I saw this perfectly cylindrical hollow log, so I got down and looked inside it and found: There was that little creepy gnome and a container with a trackable, a notepad, and some random junk.

zXzC0C0zXz posted:This seems like it would be fun how do you get in to it? Download the Geocaching app. You can pay for a subscription to get access to the more challenging ones, but there are usually plenty around you that are not behind a paywall. I think it’s kind of bullshit that a decentralized and kind of socialist pastime that is built on being open and welcoming to everyone has the largest service trying to gouge the users but that’s capitalism I guess. But anyhow, use the app, follow the description and hint for each one, leave some useful notes when you log your find. I try to clean up caches that are getting messy, tidy up the area around them, and make them nice for the next person. When you come across one that’s adjacent to private land, do not cross fences. These things have people visiting them frequently, and private landowners figure out pretty quickly if one is there because they’ll notice a different stranger showing up every couple days and poking around that same fence post. Since a lot are in public places, show people what you’re doing if you start getting weird looks. Every time I’ve shown people why I’m on my hands and knees under a bush next to the bike path, the response has been “Hey, that’s really cool!” Kids love it. I took my kid out geocaching last weekend and she found her first one!    We left some neat beans in the ones we found. HenryJLittlefinger fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Oct 13, 2021 |

zXzC0C0zXz posted:I’m pretty stoked not gonna lie it’s been a while since I have done something new I’ll post what I find around me. I think you'll be pretty surprised the first time you load up the map and see just how many are around you. Another thing of note WRT the premium subscription on the app: You don't need a subscription to see all the caches on a web browser. So if you see some around that are greyed out on your phone, pull up a web browser and get the coordinates, or make a list of them from a computer and then have that with you when you go in the field. I've found that in a lot of cases when you get to a spot with a cache (at least in rural areas and public lands), you can figure out pretty quickly where it's going to be before you even have to look at hints. Boulders, sign posts, little pile of rocks at the base of a tree. Bridges and guardrails will pretty often have a magnetic box like a hide-a-key.
