Do you prefer to go geocaching solo, or with friends? Do you have a geo-dog? Ever been to an event?

It started as a solo activity. It was an excuse to go for a hike or bike ride when I didn't have anything else to do.

Now I have energetic kids who think it's the coolest thing to find little hidden treasures. They even hid their first cache last week!

For me, I started doing it alone and it kept me sane during Covid lockdown. After events started back up again, I met a bunch of people, and haven't really solo cached since then

We have a join account with my wife and we go caching together

Solo. My daughter enjoys it, but sparingly. Is her and my son get older I do intend to take them out more often. I'll share the app with friends when I'm traveling to, especially if they've never done it before. It's kind of fun to blow their minds and pull up the app and show them what's hiding right in front of them.
