Last year I introduced my Grandkids to geocaching and it was a pretty big success. A lot of it was probably due to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/p\/default.aspx?tab=stats#profilepanel\" target=\"_blank\">the first cache we found<\/a> which was loaded with toys! They could hardly believe they could find these things and then just take stuff. This was tempered a bit when I explained that you should also leave something and it was more about the hunting than the scoring some new trinkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During 2019 I got the idea to create a cache for each one of them. We launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/geocache\/GC8940G\">The <\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/geocache\/GC8940G\" target=\"_blank\">Parker<\/a> and then kind of let things slide a bit. Earlier this year I pulled together the other three with the idea of hiding them with each of the Grandkids. Well, that wasn&#8217;t working out too well as on hot summer days when they were at the lake nobody really wanted to leave the dock to wander around in the bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, I recently hid them myself and hopefully we can &#8220;find&#8221; each of them together with the grandkids in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Geocaches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/geocache\/GC8940G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Parker<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/geocache\/GC8YGYN\">The <\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/geocache\/GC8YGYN\" target=\"_blank\">Dane<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/geocache\/GC8YGY6\" target=\"_blank\">The Easton<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/geocache\/GC8YGXF\" target=\"_blank\">The Clark<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The corresponding Travel Bug <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/track\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trackables<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/track\/details.aspx?id=7532838\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Parker Travel Bug<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/track\/details.aspx?id=7532809\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Dane Travel Bug<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/track\/details.aspx?id=7532826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Easton Travel Bug<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/track\/details.aspx?id=7532814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Clark Travel Bug<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been a geocacher for a few years, since 2004, and been sporadically active over the years.
