Yes, there were two others you could get – one at some low number of points, and another at 100 I believe
Yes! Beach clean-up are always a good time where I am. I’ve made some pretty strange garbage finds over the years – keeps things entertaining when you find microwaves, kiddie pools, toilets and more in the woods!
I did not know they offered free trials – that’s awesome, glad you are enjoying it so far!
Cute! Was the cache inside on of the little houses?
Got to get them hooked early on!
I found a nano cache inside of a padlock once. The part where the key would go was drilled out, and replaced with a tiny cache container. Took me ages, awesome find.
I’ve gotten Tim Hortons gift cards for FTF before, that was pretty nice. Pins are also always cool to find
This doesn’t see to be showing up across instances !geocaching@lemmy.world
For me, I started doing it alone and it kept me sane during Covid lockdown. After events started back up again, I met a bunch of people, and haven’t really solo cached since then
Yup, geocaching has definitely taken me pretty far off the beaten path in the past.
Entirely possible that there are premium geocaches in that area, which you’d have to pay to see. Or it could also be puzzle caches, which would show up in a different (but likely close by) spot on the map
There’s a website, geocaching.com – it’s free to make an account, and there is a world map showing where geocaches are hidden.
The easiest type (traditional caches) will just have a location on the map where you go to find the container. Some of the more difficult ones, you might have to solve a puzzle before you can find out where you need to go looking
It happened. I planned for it in 2020, but got very sick (probably Covid) that week. I have been waiting 8 years for this chance!
Thank you! I’ve just made a lemmy.world account. @Brazen_Earthquake@lemmy.world
That’s great, thank you!
That’s a shame! Do you ever go to geocaching events? I find they get the most logs there, although I have spotted the odd one out in the wild
Hey, that’s awesome! Hope your kid will enjoy it
Had to check it out on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.westnordost.streetcomplete
That looks pretty cool! Love that you can play it like a game as a team. I need to try this out
