Mr. Starr Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Does anyone else on here go geocaching? It's basically modern day treasure hunting, where people hide and seek "geocaches" or "caches" with a GPS device. It's been in the news every once in a while, with an occasional cache being suspected as a bomb! Here is the official website www.geocaching.com/ So far, I haven't found very many, mainly because most of the ones near me are either gone or REALLY hard to find! But basically here you can post pictures of your finds, PTR's, or interesting caches that you've discovered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkman25 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Long story short, I used to be a sponsored downhill biker and heard rumor of some epic terrain park in the mountains in my back yard. Went huntin' for it and ended up stumbling upon a geocache thing. Kind of weird finding it (small little sucker) and missing the bike park.

jjune4991 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I do! I started 2 years ago, but fell out of it because I didn't have my own GPS. I started again this March, and I'm on a roll. I'm gonna hide my first cache with a travel bug in the next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenflames Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I don't do this personally, but I know a few people that do, and I have it on good authority for anyone interested in geocaching that there are some scattered around the University of Delaware (Newark) campus. So if you are near the area, feel free to take a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astro Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I do! One of my coaches introduced it and he takes kids out to do it with him in groups! Ive gone a couple times and its really fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Love it! Haven't had a chance to do it much recently but we always try to find a cache when we are traveling. We also have our own cache in Orlando that 100's of people from all over the world have found! If anyone has an iphone the Geocaching app is actually pretty good and great to use for spontaneous geocaching adventure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 ^ are there any caches hidden within the Disney parks? Or do security and the grounds crew frown on that sort of thing? Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjune4991 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 If you ever want to know where caches are, just go to the website! Then on the left hand side there is a tab that says hide & seek a cache. That'll bring up a new page, and you can search by address or by zip code. Cameron, I looked at Disney, and the only ones in the parks themselves are virtual caches, where you answer questions, but don't actually find a cache. But if you want to look for something in a Disney park, why not look for hidden Mickeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pizza14 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 YES! I geocache. I have found around 200 in just over a year. The only problem is there are no more near my house.. so we only cache while on vecation/road trips. Actually at Disneyland Paris there is an actual cache on the grounds. Not too sure how that one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davisal771 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 That sounds incredibly fun! Now that I have an Android-powered phone, I could try this! New activity for Monday when my friends come over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I don't geocache, since I fail at navigation. However, I have looked through one located at my family's cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdcon Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 TTT, since I started this about week ago and am really addicted. I am actuallly wanting to hide one some where in disneyland, not a virtual but an actuall cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I did my 1st geocache yesterday! It was a lot of fun. I wonder if there is a geocache in an amusement park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pizza14 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 ^ there actually is one in Disneyland Paris. I tried looking for it but had no luck due to the amount of "muggles" (geocaching term for non geocachers). I love Geocaching and I am at around 250 finds!

disneyfan1313 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If anyone who caches finds themselves in Orlando, make sure to visit my cache! I recently updated it and can't wait to see the finds come in again! It is located close to Downtown Disney & the premium outlets and is very fun/easy! coord.info/GCMHHZ Anyone else started caching recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
