the search optioncame up withthe same results it always does for me no matter what I do a search for... "no record found", so I dont know if its been discussed before, but does anyone get into it?

I was always under the impression that it was kind of a "girly" thing to do with your time but we(me and my wife and kids)went out last fall and found a couple and it was pretty cool,the kids lovedit...

most of them around here are in the woods based on some sort of scenic viewwith alot of them being at the top of some mountain or mound which is usually at the end of a fairly long hike, and most are through some pretty good hunting spots...
I dont have a GPS but knew exactly where a few of themwere just by the discription, and being late fallI packedmy .22 pistol and we did a little squirrel hunting while we were at it, it was actually a pretty cool outing, IMO its a good chance to do some small game hunting or scouting while doing something adventurous with the family, and like I said the kids loved searching aroundand finding those cache boxes, in fact they've been bugging me quite a bit about going and finding some more but I'm trying to put it off until small game season opens



I've also got a GPS unit on the list now, so theres another $250 bucks, but I think once those kids get to track a target with that GPS I'll probably never get them out of the woods, or get my GPS back... so its an item thatsgoing to have to come fairly quick, but I've been wanting one for a while anyway...




its funny, the closer it gets to small game season the more I'm actually looking forward to going and doing it again...

It's not for me. A good day for me is when I can find both my watch and wallet.

In the shape Iam in wakeing up is a good thing......There is a goupe in the Red River Valley that do the Geo thing...

Call me goofy but what is a Geocache????????

Well scpatterson, from what I can figure, it's a cash box they look for in the woods with a 22 pistol. Most folks choose liquor stores but different strokes for different folks. LOL
BBO

you use GPS to find stashes that are hinden around you state or the U.S. and Canada,when you find a stash you can remove 1 item and put 1 item back in....There is a web site that has the Rough GPS cordenance then you go looking.But there are smaller groups that do it also..Basicly the same as looking for Gold..............

PS..
If you find any of my arrows please return them...Thank you very much ....

yeah its basically a treasure hunt developed on the use of a GPS receiver, people hide various containers, usually ammo boxes or tupper ware containers that usually have small items your supposed to exchange and a log book your supposed to sign, and then give a set of coordinates that your supposed to use with your GPS unit to find it
I see its gotten to be pretty popular and quite a big thing actually with a whole set of rules and regulations that are meant to be followedwhich it looks likealot ofpeople takeVERY seriously, which to mereally couldnt be moresilly, but there are hundreds of them hid just in my general area

the geocaching partreallyisntwhat I get into and I have no interest in any I cant pack a .22 or shotgun into, but it iskind of cool to take the family, the dog, or both and head out and see if you can find one, and like I said itsactually kind of a funway to get out and do a little small game hunting and/orscouting while doing somethingthe whole family can enjoy, IMOthe whole idea seemsgeared more towards kids than adults anyway, even though that isnt the way it is...

heres the main site devoted to it, http://www.geocaching.com/seek/gmnearest.aspx?lat=36.06200541312203&lng=-115.11740684509277&zm=14&mt=m it seems its became almosta religion with some people and I dont get nearly that indepth at "playing the game", but you can type in your area code and check out how many are around your area, its actually kind of interesting, most of us have probably walk right by one at some point in time and never knew it was there

after i shot my buck last season.....i spent the next week with a metal detector trying to find my gps unit that fell out of my fanny pack. that's all the searching i care to do re a gps. lol. btw....i did find it.
