Geocaching

During the month of May, I am holding a Geocache Blogging Event. Geocaching is where you hunt for caches that have previously been hidden, using GPS coordinates and occasionally some hints. (The coordinates and hints are listed at www.geocaching.com.)  I hope you will join me in geocaching sometime in May, then post your experience about it. If you are unsure about how to geocache, you can read more about...

As I recall, this was my first introduction to geocaching, and you can see why I got hooked.  In our PK days (pre-kids) my husband and I decided to take a trip for a few days to Bucks Lake.  For a day hike we chose Spanish...

As the weather gets colder, I have less of an inclination to jump in the car to find a new place to explore, and more reasons to look for things to do nearby. Here is a way to make exploring your own city feel like a new adventure: go geocaching!  How do you catch a geo and will it bite, you ask? Geocaching doesn’t hurt a bit, but you may get bitten by the bug once you start and decide to continue geocaching...
