Let me walk you through this FUN outdoor family friendly activity.And a Sport that claims that YOU become the search engine.

There are a few items you need to go on one of these outdoor excursions and be on the HUNT..

And the time to head out for some fun.

It begins as you goto the geocaching.com website and get a waypoint (a GPS coordinate used to pinpoint a location on the globe). Once you have found one you like print off the clues and a little bit about what your looking for …  I selected Puppy Dog Feet in Concrete (many times the names are clues to where you can find the cache).

Read the details as they will help you figure out the puzzle involved. And head out to find your first treasure.

Be sure to take something with you as many of these work with a take a item leave a item. I always try to either upgrade or match the quality of what I am trading. One that I found I left a rock in, it wasn’t just any rock either it was full of JADE a friend had given it to me years ago but it was time for this little trinket of mine to go find a new home. Other things I have left.. Super Bouncy Balls, Magic tricks, handmade items (I like to make wooden pens), and many other things out there. I have found alot of great things as well Like handmade pouches, wooden coins, a sharks tooth, and many many other things.

Here is a example of what one looks like (allthough they can be any size and anywhere)

There are litteraly thousands of these around metro Atlanta and hundreds of thousands Worldwide (even a few inside Disney). This is a great way for you and your family to spend time together and play outdoors. My family loves this and my father and I have even spent the afternoon in the woods looking around for a few of these near where I grew up.

I hope you enjoy the Hunt..

Till Next time
