Any Frogs into Geocaching?

[texasrobster1997]

Kind of nerdy but my kids LOVED it (5 & 8 year old). I hadn't heard of it until this weekend. If you are in the dark look at Geocaching.com.

Me and my dad did it when I was in high school. Never tried it in Fort Worth.


Edit: Just checked out the website, apparently these days it is primarily done with GPS phones. Pfft. In my day all you got was directions and a vague description of what you were looking for. Kids today are so spoiled.

:tongue:

Seems to be big out here in the West. Lots of people I know talk about it. Do they have different levels for different ages? (i.e., kids and adults)

It's a hide and seek game played with a large community.

I downloaded an app on my iphone and it tells you which ones are hard or easy. I live in Dallas and we did three within a mile of my house within an hour and a half. There are about 25 within two miles of us.

I am the "owner" of the micro-cache in the Fort Worth Water Gardens. Good luck!

This made me laugh. We took a buddy out to another buddy's ranch a few years back... first time he'd ever been hunting (city boy), so we took him on a crazy snipe hunt. Gave him a .45acp, while we both had AR15s. He started freaking out when we came across some big hogs, and we told him those things are scared of snipe.


Hook, line, and sinker.

Ha. I tried geocaching about a year ago but quit after about 30 finds. I found just about everything in or near downtown...only ones I missed were at First Methodist and the Water Gardens. May have to try yours again.

Sounds like Craigslist personals.
