    I first heard about this is school in 2003 but there was no app and it was more rare. I'm glad to see it's still going. I've never done it before but I think I'm going to start now! If they'd had the app before maybe I could have started a long time ago. 😞 also this is a cute video! You and your daughter and the music, just so dang adorable.

    The first time I ever came across a "geocache" im assuming anyway, was with my friend in 2005 when we were 8 riding our bicycles through town.
    We didn't know what we found, but thought to open it. We found $50 inside and some jewlery with a note saying "from Boone" We took it to the nearest jewelers to pawn it off. Got an additional 40 dollars for it! To us we thought we hit the jackpot and were being stalked by bad guys.
