As soon as I hear back form our Council, I’ll be offering this course. I’m thinking of tieing it in with a Camporee in the spring. Hopefully I can get some feedback at tonight’s District Roundtable.
If and when that all occurs, I’ll be tapping the geocaching resources surrounding me. (hint – Knoffer and Cacherclan)
There’s also an experimental Merit Badge floating around out there: Geocaching. I can’t wait till it goes national.
I’ve been out caching quite often since the big snowfall. Not many folks have been seeking the caches that I have. I’m amazed at the number of animals that are using the cacher trails.
We normally think of cacher trails as doing damage to our native habitats, however, it seems to be just the opposite. Apparantly the rabbits, coyotes, deer and foxes are finding them the easiest way to get through the woods.
I never expected to see this.
I think Ken’s leading – I see he’s passed 500.
“Real Geocachers” are simply folks who enjoy going out into the woods or the city, nosing around for little camoed containers so they can pass notes back and forth, all while trying to avoid being seen doing so.
…..did I just describe a spy?
Woohoo!
Sometimes it’s just trial and error. When I placed the Adventures of Captain Klutz, I believe I had to move it 4 times because of the “Poof” multi. I didn’t mind, kinda hard to place around a big, elaborate, meandering multi.
That was back in the day before I got more sophisticated with hiding. Now, I go to great lengths to miss all the waypoints of multis. I had to go solve a multi just yeasterday to make sure an area was clear for a new placement.
From one 500er to another congrats. We have seen just enough caches to be really dangerous. 😆
that’d be great.
I like to do milestone caches that belong to a friend or WITH a friend. It makes them far more memorable!
BTW: You’d have to be mad to do Captain Klutz – but it’s not a Scout thing. and yes, you will get torn up.
I think you should head south of the border to “#$%^ Baldwin”. One of my all-time favorites, but then I’m partial to it.
At the rate Ken’s been caching, I think he’ll hit 1000 before I type this!
Who better to teach a bunch of Boy Scouts about how geocaching benefits the BSA program than a bunch of Boy Scouts. Count us in! I’ll volunteer my Troop.
You know Paula, I have some caches in Minnesota and a few in Louisianna that you haven’t found yet – roadtrip!
I guess I’ll have to get out there and place a lot more caches so you can all get to 400! 😆
I have been in communication with that Scoutmaster and am taking several Scouts up to help.
Hey Jim and Paula – congrats on 224! 8)
