My kids got more excited about all the different types of mushrooms they found than actually finding the geocache! The best part, really, is being out in nature together.

I usually take pictures along the way as well of the flowers, wildlife, and of course the family. my family just got into geocaching about 4 months ago, we have 6 kids so this is a great cheap family fun time with great exercise.

Lately, between cell phone problems, computer viruses, and networking issues, I'm almost ready to throw out all my electronics and go back to the 1970s!

She ended up having lots of fun. I pressed my old Garmin GPS 12 into service and it did just fine. Our total cost to try it out: $0, and about 2 hours of time. I wrote about our experience here: <a href="http://michaelsmith6.blogspot.com/2010/02/first-geocaching-experience.html" target="_blank">http://michaelsmith6.blogspot.com/2010/02/first-g...</a> Learning to use a compass and map is a great idea. This summer or next year we will introduce her to orienteering. My 7 year old daughter and I tried this on Saturday. She ended up having lots of fun.

It's also a good excuse to get the family outdoors and familiar with the wilderness in your part of the country.

Just be sure you know how to get around with just a map and compass. Geocaching sounds fun but I have never tried it. GPS’s are great.
