My mom was telling me she has a friend at work that does this thing and it sounded kind of interesting...There is a website geocaching.com where clues are given as well as GPS Coordinates and there are little "treasure box" type things hidden around the world (something like 1 million+ geocaches) with miscellaneous items in them and if you take something from the box you must replace it with something of equal or greater value...Its literally like a real life treasure hunt...I dont know how I feel about it but one day when I have nothing going on I might give it a shot...Anybody ever heard of/ tried this sort of thing??

 

I've been on a couple of short, easy geocaches. It's pretty fun, kinda like the coast-to-coast challenge that we tried to get going on here. There are some that you can pretty much just drive right up to and others that require days of hiking into the mountains to find.

 

I used to do it everyonce in awhile. Although I turned into a geocaching pirate. When I found one with something good in it I took the item and left the can empty.

 

I've never done it. It sounds interesting, tho.

So what kinda stuff are we talking about here? Like what's in the boxes?
Just wondering what people have found.

That's pretty chitty, dude.

 

Thats why I make a good pirate. I don't care.

 

Most of the time is just random odds and ends type stuff. One that I did had a baseball in it and we left a wind-up alarm clock.

 

Lol a geocaching pirate...THATS AWESOME. The chick my mom knows apparently found a 25$ gift card to a restaurant...Id Pirate that ASAP...Yeah I thought it sounded interesting too so I'm gunna give her a shot.

 

i've done it a few times. pretty fun, not your every weekend kinda thing but if you live in the city it will definately get you out and driving in the country which is where most of the ones i have seen are.

i live in the country so i was lookin online and i saw one on our property line and walked over and signed the list!

 

Oh yeah, I get it now. Sure... you're really cool.
The honor system with no honor.

Yeah, whether you care or not, it's still chitty imo.
Because I could see someone getting into this with their kids or something.... and going to the trouble of finding an empty box and then never wanting to do it again.

 

There is no honor among theives. Besides its suposed to be about the thrill of the hunt. Not whats inside.
