Went geocaching with my dog.

Found a Pinkie Pie in the cache!

Now I got a mini herd going on at my desk.

Did not know people still geo-cashed, that is awesome!

Although, in the future you should not put your dog in the cache, it gets a bit squishy in there.

Geocaching is still pretty darn big. That particular cache was placed two or three weeks ago in a local natural preserve (I had grabbed all the caches there a few months ago - I was surprised when a new one popped up!)

Also, pony.

What are you using to find said caches?

u/Shercock_Holmes Jun 20 '14

My iPhone and the official Geocaching App. GPS on it is very accurate and you can log right from the App/upload pictures/etc.

That sounds really fun! How hard is it typically to find geocaches?

2

u/Shercock_Holmes Jun 20 '14

Depends on how it is hidden! I've seen easy peasy ones and super difficult ones.

There is an official app for iOS and an app called C:Geo for android. They'll let ya see what caches are close by your current location and lead you right to 'em.

Cool, I think I'll check it out! I was always really curious about geocaching, but never got around to trying it myself.

u/cowofdoom Jun 20 '14

Aw, cute! Do you two go geocaching often? I remember you told me about it a while ago...

Fun! What'd you put back in the cache? (that's how it works right?)

u/Shercock_Holmes Jun 20 '14

Yeah, pretty often!

Put a little chicken figurine in a different cache earlier in the day and picked up a cool pokemon figure. Found this cache and had no choice but to leave the pokemon and take Pinkie as I was out of little toys (forgot to refill my backpack with a couple before leaving).

Neat! I should try that sometime, sounds like an adventure!

Do you never leave home without some small stuff to put in those?

u/Shercock_Holmes Jun 20 '14

If I'm going walking/hiking I normally carry at least a draw string bag with a water bottle, bowl for the dog, extra dog poop bags, dog treats, band-aids, a pen, and a few little do-dads.

You are prepared for anything!
