Intro to Geocaching

Hello, everybody! Welcome!! :) I am Jamie, a blogger who has about a million blogs and can't seem to focus on just one topic. lol And my partner in crime is my awesome boyfriend, Chris.

Years ago, I learned about geocaching and was instantly intrigued once I learned more. So...what is geocaching? Well, it's basically treasure hunting! It's a free, or as-costly-as-you-want-it-be type of hobby. It can be as easy or challenging as you make it. Your choice. Besides finding cool "treasure" in the geocaches that you find (including money for some "FTF" caches, aka "First to Finds"), you can also find stuff from fun little toys, coins, trackables (which are really cool), and just about everything family-friendly you can think of. Before you know it, you'll find yourself incorporating your new love for treasure hunting while on bike rides, hikes, walks in parks, shopping, or even on your lunch break from work just to get away from it all and have some "me time".

Anyways, back to how I got involved..

I brought up the idea to Chris in the Fall of 2011, he was intrested, we geocached & found our first cache, and we've been hooked ever since! To date, we have found over 30 geocaches. (I currently have 31 logged, but I know we found more than that. I really should pay attention to logging them more frequently!)

So, where are geocaches hidden?? EVERYWHERE!!! Parks, cemeteries, private property, hiking trails, woods, etc. As a matter of fact, if you searched around your home, odds are you have a few within a mile from ya!

What do they look like? Well, they vary all the time! From micro (size of battery watches), to HUGE containers, and everything in between! Here are just a few we've found...

If you'd like to know more, than bookmark this blog & follow us as we venture out on future geocaching adventures. From climbing 30 ft trees, to damn-near falling into water to get a cache, we'll be there..documenting with pictures and sometimes even with videos to show you how much fun and challenging geocaching can be! :)

In my next post, I'll show ya how you can get started on your phone (if you have a smart phone) for free, with screenshots and instructions to get you out hunting for your very first cache!

Stay tuned...
