Geocaching

     Hello readers!  I am back this week with a semi-fun and semi-informational post about a new hobby my sister and I have picked up together! I know many of you are already aware of what Geocaching is considering it's been around for a few years, however some people don't so that's why I'm writing this post today!
     To be honest I'm not quite sure of the the exact definition of Geocaching so I'll leave that to you to look up if necessary. For me personally, geocaching means getting a geocache app,  choosing some dots close to myself and driving to go find them. Basically a cache is something someone hides with an object or piece of paper in it depending on the size.  Once they hide it,  they put the coordinates on the Geocaching app for the rest of the world to go find. This happens in every state, and most countries all over the world. I've encountered the caches I've searched for in parking lot lamps, attached magnetically to the under side of signs and even wedged up into no parking signs. Today I found another in a parking lot,  and failed to find one in the woods after I gave up due to the fact I was covered in wood ticks.
     I'm not sure if this post makes any sense to anyone beside myself,  but overall Geocaching is a great hobby to incorporate into traveling or a fun thing to do when you're bored at a park. You can Geocache anywhere and I bet you'd be surprised how many are hidden around you. I know a friend who had one on his property. I also know of business that have given people permission to hide them on the property. It's crazy how many things you find that you never previously noticed. What's even crazier it's that the majority of people I've asked have done it before. So, don't feel
out of the loop any longer.  Download a free app and start searching in your area. Let me know what you find! Today I found a walrus sticker....beat that!
