The Secrecy of Geocaching

“When you’re out on the weekends and when there’s a lot of people around, you have to be careful to hide the stash so that no one who doesn’t know what you’re doing comes over and takes it,” Vyhnalek said.
Bitten by the geocaching bug, we retreat to the car for another clue for a different stash, this one located more than a half-mile away.
It’s true. Part of the fun for us, and especially for the kids, is the secrecy aspect of geocaching.
They like the idea that they’re supposed to keep what we’re doing secret from the “muggles” and that we have to sneak around a little bit. They’re always surprised when they find someone else who knows abotu geocaching. Definitely, having alert kids helps in making sure the coast is clear when you’re hiding and/or seeking.
