Geocaching is a great way to have family time outside, discovering new things, and not having to spend a heck of a lot of money. There is a yearly membership fee that it is well worth it! You can find these almost anywhere in the world as well
If you like hiking or canoeing, it’s a great activity for you as well because sometimes you have to do that to get to one. Sometimes you have to swim to get one. Not all of them are like that, but there are some.
Some of them involve having gadgets or puzzles to solve, which is even more fun for the family!
Some of these caches are also very creative! someone even made one that looks like the tardis off of Doctor Who, which requires solving a puzzle to get inside. However, once you are inside, there is all kinds of memorabilia in there, and items referred to as “swag”. Swag stands for “stuff we all get”. You can trade items out and then sign a log to show you were there.
I get to see some great historical places, but I also get to see some breathtaking scenery like the one I’m going to share here in the photo below. It is very easy to turn a simple road trip into an adventure with this particular activity! And it’s a lot more fun than car bingo!

This was taken at Possum Kingdom State Park in Texas.
