Geocaching and Pokemon Go

We took our 7 and 9 year old grandchildren for their first geocaching experience today. The 9 year old said, "This is better than Pokémon Go 'cause you find real things.". How true this is.

 

Stick with the bigger caches. I've seen kids lose interest after finding caches with no swag. When you've seen one pill bottle, you've seen them all.

:sad:

Very cool. Your 9 year old grandson is wise. As for Pokemon Go, players can actually help where stealth is needed in looking for a cache. Muggles assume everyone walking around looking at their devices is playing PG, so geocachers blend in. You still need stealth when grabbing/replacing a cache, but your general hunting for a cache can be camouflaged by PG players. Happy you showed your grandkids the joy of geocaching--thats awesome.
