Geocaching

This social distancing situation is a great time for families to try out geocaching. For the unfamiliar, this is when folks (including yourself, if you choose) place a container of some sort somewhere in a hidden location for others to find. Ease of locating them vary from out in the open to pretty tricky to find. There is paper inside to note your username and date you found it, and often they have a small doodad ('trackable') that you can retrieve from the cache and place in another cache to help it travel. It's a great way to explore new places in your area, or see familiar terrain in a new light, and get the whole family involved in the adventure.
