Just curious what this community’s demographics are like! I’m closing in on 3500 myself

    I haven’t been geocaching in forever. I used to go all the time, but I saw you post about it in another place and figured I’d join and maybe try to pick up the hobby again

    1. My biggest issue is my wife doesn’t find it fun so most of those are from before marriage or when she’s out of town. I look forward to introducing the kid to it later on to possibly have a buddy.

    I’ve found 39. I mostly find them on road trips with my family to break up a bit of the monotony.

    Wow that’s a lot! I checked the sidebar but didn’t see a link on how to get started with geocaching. Is there an app or site that everyone uses?

      Geocaching.com would be the site everyone uses, it’s free to make an account. Their FAQ is a good place to start as well.

      For apps, there is c:geo for Android, Cachly for iOS, or the official Geocaching app for both. I might see about adding more of a wiki or sidebar to this community…

    Broke the 200 mark a month ago. Been doing this since last February. Of course the summer was the busiest time for caching since it’s just so nice to spend the whole day out.

    Only 11, but I’ve recaught the bug. I think I’ll try to add to that number today!
