- A new craze has sprung into the hands of nature loving family's. Geocaching is hide and seek with containers that have GPS tracking devices in them. These are placed by random people and found by random people. Each and every finding is kept in a log. This is an extreme sport for outdoor entusiasts and really hit the adventurous market. Knowing that you are participating in an event that can be played by almost everyone in the world is thrilling. Basically, you place a bottle in the ground and hope someone gets it in a few days or even a few years. It is fun to use all of your outdoor skills and technology at the same time.- What is the point of the "geocaching" if you never really win?
Is this just a fad or will people be doing this for a long time?
- I believe that geocaching is something that will sweep the nation's interests. Anything that is fun for the family and keeps you intact with your natural being is always a high point in a child's life. http://www.madcacher.com/
I think the point of it is basically that they find joy in merely finding the containers based on the GPS. I can't say that I would find all that much joy in it, and would have more fun if it was a treasure map instead, however.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting, and I feel that it could continue into future generations. If most people involved in this challenge make it a family event, then it is more likely that this game will continue on for years. I guess the people are not that concerned with winning, as they are with the thrill of finding the bottle.
ReplyDeleteI really like this whole new activity. It sounds like a lot of fun and i know many people who would enjoy this. I'll have to look into this some more.
ReplyDeleteI have actually done this before... Its fun! Who doesn't love a scavenger hunt? -especially on such a large scale. I think that this activity will continue to grow because its also a good way for kids to spend some time outside and explore.
