Geocaching - why?

self motivation

Today my wife and I spent a day together without children. We explored an area of a beautiful county, Dorset. We focused our visit by looking for geocaches. Explaining the attraction on hunting small boxes filled with assorted goodies and a notebook can be difficult - sometimes we just say we're going walking. But the joy of geocaching is you have the thrill of "hunting for treasure" - you don't always find it (at least we don't!) and you get to explore places you wouldn't normally visit. One of today's caches involved a two mile walk over stiff terrain - with strong winds and some rain. But we were motivated and thoroughly enjoyed the walk (with the view above) and finding the cache Compton View. So for us geocaching helps motivate us to get our of the car, explore lovely countryside - and think where someone has hidden their cache. Not suit everyone - but we really enjoy it.
