Geocaching or Treasure Hunting From Your Phone

We found a geocache in the log box of the NASA shuttle fuel tank…

Many of you like to treasure hunt.  Geocaching is the new treasure hunting event.  In a nutshell, you create an account with Geocaching or another app that offers treasure hunting by phone and you follow treasure hunters in your area who put out different treasures.  Some offer free stuff, others simply allow you to find the treasure and login by writing your geocache name.  Generally, a pen or pencil is left at the geocache site with a login paper in a secure, box or container.

We wrote our geocache name inside the geocache paper left inside the container…(We left a bracelet).

It’s really a lot of fun.  Recently, we visited the external fuel tank from NASA just outside of Duval County City limits in Green Cove Springs. While we were there looking, we happened upon a geocache in a box at the foot of the external tank.  While we did not look it up, we did sign the log in the box and logged in to confirm we were there.

You need a geocache account and name to login your visit…

You can do this too.  Some geocache apps are free while others cost to be a member.  Google geocache and go from there. It’s really neat and definitely an adventure every time you try to find the treasures.  Geocaching is world-wide now so you can go to most any town, state or country and find different geocaches.

See you tomorrow,

Nan
