We have been geocaching for about 8 months now. It is a fun hobby, sport, game, obsession! We have logged over a hundred finds so far. Since February, we have been to all sorts of places that are new to us, doing the things that we love, anywhere from hiking to jeep riding to seeing new things to learning about history. We have climbed mountains, hiked along creeks, seen waterfalls, lakes, rivers, visited numerous cemeteries and historical sites, a cave, discovered lots of well hidden parks off the beaten path, enjoyed scenic vistas, hiked on the Silver Comet Trail and the Appalachian Trail. One of our longest hikes (8 miles) was in the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, to see the Stone Door. Stone DoorWe have only logged about 100, and according to the web site there are lots more out there to find:
There are 203549 active caches in 218 countries. In the last 7 days, there have been 116596 new logs written by 21591 account holders.
Of course, it's not about the numbers, but the experiences. Needless to say, we are always looking forward to our next trip. Check out the web site and see if there are any near you!
