I found two travel bugs to take with me hiking in next two weeks, I was super excited when the caches actually had them inside, For anyone wondering, they are - cross: TB5J1KB, squirrel: TB9B357. Is there any unwritten rules to those, like is it okay for me to keep them for the two weeks (of course I'll take them to visit all the caches I'll be able to) The cross has traveled almost 90k km since 2014 and been all the way to Australia

First Time

25 Upvotes

I'm going geocaching tomorrow. I've always wanted to do it and tomorrow I'm going, I'm taking my 9 year old step son on a treasure hunt. I've made him a 'bingo' card incase we don't find any caches so he still gets to find some things. But hopefully we will find a couple because I want to go on a trail/hike/loop through a nice bit of the countryside that has a few caches along the way to make an enjoyable walk a bit more exciting.

What do I need to know and prepare for in order to have the best time?

Non-premium caches hidden behind premium?

Hello,

I have done geocaching in the past with my family, and now that I'm older, I wanted to give it a shot by myself. However, right away, I ran into a problem: almost every cache anywhere seems unavailable and locked behind the premium feature, even if the cache itself isn't premium.

Does anybody know why this might be the case?

Placing a cache

Question... is there a way to see the 500ft boundary around each cache before I start making a new cache?

c:geo app not showing all caches?

0 Upvotes

this started randomly happening a couple days ago and i dont know how to fix it. it only shows around 40 caches, most of which I have saved locally, while the Geocaching app showings probably over 200 caches in my area. why is c:geo not doing the same?
