What I Value About Geocaching

I know I have posted something similar to this in the past but I feel it is important to reiterate the reasons why I enjoy geocaching so much. I stress this all the time and I feel like it is never enough, you discover totally new places. I cannot even begin to count the numerous new places Erin and I have stumbled upon caching. We only have 400 finds mind you at this point. I am so intrigued to get back out in the world and find even better and exciting places that I know exist but I just do not know where yet. Geocaching pushes for us to enjoy nature’s true beauty through and through. If you go out knowing you are about to embark on something new it makes the experience that much better. I enjoy myself caching so much more when I know we are going to visit places we have never heard of nor been to. Caching also brings together a lot of different people. There are events and such that allow you to meet the cachers in your area. This can be a great experience for when you are out in the field. If you happen to meet up with a cacher you previously met it will make that encounter much smoother. Sometimes it will even help when you are out attempting to find those difficult caches. This way if you have befriended some fellow cachers and know they have found them you can give them a call. Provided they give you their number, then you have a phone a friend for life. Lastly, I believe that geocaching has brought Erin and me even closer. I realize that some couples cannot geocache together because one of them does not like it. I acknowledge that I am lucky and I take full advantage of it. We have a blast every time we head out and I feel it has made us closer all together. Geocaching is definitely something that I want to continue until I physically cannot or until it disappears, which I hope will never happen.
