I reviewed my stats the other day on our geocaching. For the last two years, we have gone through a drought of geocaches from about December through April. Last year, there was the snow. Two feet of snow is liable to make any geocache non-winter-friendly. This year, we have a plan. We’ve snowshoed in the [...]

Geocaching is a great way to learn — about yourself, where you live and about your partner. My husband and I have been geocaching since 2007. We are over 500 geocaches and counting. Through our finds, we have stumbled upon some amazing places and have enjoyed the sense of humor of many geocachers. We have [...]

Tackling a winter-friendly geocache after 20 inches of snow and subzero temperatures has tested this geocacher. Uncle! Uncle! It’s not driving to the cache that is a problem. I [...]

What we didn’t count on were the mosquitoes. In addition to the regular seasons, Minnesota has bug seasons. March to April, there are the wood ticks, hungry and [...]

After all, you’re boating in it, you’re swimming in it. If your caching takes you to an island, you see the effect on shorelines. Welcome to National Water [...]

One of the best things about geocaching is that it gets you outside. You explore new places, get some exercise. It’s all good. To get the most out of your geocaching, why not make it a day? Welcome to National Picnic Month! Since you are probably in a park already, why not add to the [...]
