Geocaching

When two hobbies meet ... you get a few pages about one of them in the other. The beginning Back a few years ago when they found that due to different reasons I started to get diabetes my wife found geocaching. Geocaching was the reason to go outside and walk, cycle and in general move more. Over the last years it...

I enjoy finding hand-made geocaches. It is even more fun when I know the geocacher who made it and it is even a surprise for me. The search I spotted this new geocache on the map before arriving to the area. While monitoring this hide I was hoping to go for a FTF (First To Find) but a few days before...

Oh those guard rails all over the planet. I am not sure they all guard anything but they give us a good opportunity to hide a geocache on them. Preparing the "container" The container is not always a box. This time I took a zip-bag a small one a few tiny magnets and some silver tape to fold better into the...

As a geocacher and a CO (cache owner) I find it important to keep our playground as nice and clean as possible. As the playground is the planet we live on ... the Earth ... and I know that reusing is even better than recycling I knew it immediately when I bought my first bottled coffee that I also...

When it comes to geocaching you never really know what to expect but when it starts with the dog guarding already in the name of the geocache some might skip it immediately. Let me get back to the beginning of the story... we joined our daughter going to get new glasses. It always takes some time but that day it...

Besides a good coffee on a long trip there is one other thing that makes you stop at rest areas ... a geocache. Unfortunately you can only guess on how fun it will be but at some places it is just worth the time a lot more than at other places. This was the logbook, the back side of it where you...

We have found a few of the fake rock geocache hides at different places before. This one was set as difficulty 1 not sure it was a good pick. Let me get back to the beginning of the day... As every morning I started with a good coffee with milk and then looked at what did we plan for the...

One of my favorite part of geocaching is that we geocachers put some effort in cleaning our playground ... the planet. The other day we were installing some shades or so and it had to be shortened to fit in place so we had lots of small pieces of plastic tubes or whatsoever. My wife looked at them and...

After playing geocaching for a few years in most geocachers' life the time arrives to hide some geocaches. As many others I also realized that if no one is hiding the game slowly will end, there will be nothing to search for so I first needed an area I can hide. The area I live in the Netherlands has...

Each country has roads, or not? If there is a road most likely you'll find some sort of guardrails along it at some places. Guardrail hides are common all around the planet and mostly park and grabs. The only difference is usually what the geocache itself is. This one I came across in Mississippi, US. Lucky for me due to...
