    We just finished reading the Boxcar Children # 113, The box that Watch found. It is centered around geocaching. My kids really liked reading about kids learning to geocache. I thought others might be interested in it. Has anyone else read kids stories/books that are geocache themed that you could recommend to us?

    Just mentioned it to my ten year old boy who is sitting and reading a book at the moment. His ears perked up and wanted to know more. Thanks for the tip!

      I’ll have to check that out. We have many of the Boxcar Children boks in our school library.

      That’s pretty cool. I just put a copy on reserve at the library for my girls.

        On the other end of the spectrum, I think there was a book mentioned a few years ago…maybe “Abomination”? Definitely for adults, as body parts are placed at diffedrent geocache sights!

        (I didn’t rush right out and buy it, or call and reserve it, just going by memory)

        I have one in my head that I want to write and get published… maybe should start focusing on that…

        Enjoyed some of the Boxcar series with my children when they were young.

        I tried to read EVERY Boxcar Children book I could get my hands on when I was a kid. Them and Encyclopedia Brown too.

        When I lived in Maryland (Baltimore area) we had a real LIVE geo-cache thief – he was caught, but guess what? You can’t quite convict someone of the crime of stealing a geo-cache! (Has to do with the nature of placing an item on public property…

        True life “mystery” story!
