Hi Sarah,
I started geocaching recently with my three boys. 6, 5 and 2 (absolutely not really ideal for a 2 year old but he just tags along with us). It's really fun. I'm a strong believer in exercise as a tool against my cancer returning and geocaching is another way of getting out in the great outdoors.
We've incorporated it into a couple of getaways we had over the holidays.
One "find" was at an old dead gum tree on a country road. What was fascinating was the tree had metal spikes going all the way up. This was because in the 2nd world war it was used by guards to keep watch over POW s working in surrounding fields. All this information was included in the geochaches description. It was a really interesting part of history I would never had known about in this area I have frequented for 25 years(near Tatura / Waranga Basin). So some geochaches are not only about the "find".
Although, even difficulty rating 1 "finds" can prove challenging sometimes. I blame chemo brain ??
Happy geochaching peeps--- get into it!!!
