< Ask the Midnight: What are you up to?
When I was a wee lad in Cub Scouts I was introduced to geocaching, and I've had an on-and-off time going at it since. I have a bit over 250 finds since 2010 across many US states and a handful of countries. It's mostly a tool to help get me off the beaten path when I'm exploring a new area, but there's a lot of enjoyment to be found in what is probably the closest thing to a real-life treasure hunt. If you're on Android, the c:geo app is a free one that can get you going when you connect it to a geocaching.com account. No harm in seeing what might be in your area!
Wow, my first sight was fascinating, there are only two caches in my town, from 2012, and the record says they are gone by now. But having people from USA, Germany and some other places visiting my town and finding the caches a few years ago gave me good feelings.
I was talking with my wife about planting a few physical caches more nearby. Maybe it's something we will do soon.
Thanks! I'll try with 'c:geo', maybe I'll find something over here!
