Geocaching - Travel Trailer Bug

[ckreef]

If you're into geocaching I'm sure you'll like this.

I had an old travel bug I used when I was geocaching on my motorcycle. I sold the motorcycle for a down payment on the travel trailer so I thought it was appropriate to turn that bug into a Travel Trailer Bug. I have this on both pass through doors and on the back above the spare tire.

Feel free to discover this bug just let me know what forum you saw this on. If you ever see it out in the wild please discover it again and stop by to say hello.

I used to geocache many years ago. I’d like to get back into it. I think I’ll dig up my old gps and go traipsing in the woods this weekend.
I’ll keep a lookout for you!

Geocaching has been off and on with me over the years. Also with phones getting better and better over the years nowadays you can usually just use a smart phone. Grab the geocaching app. If you get logged back in discover my Travel Trailer Bug - a good way to start back up.

Went several times with my wife years ago. Actually liked it a lot. We should probably get back into it.

I like the app, Cachly. It's not free- $4.99 - but is easy to use and you don't need a GPS device.

It's been awhile since joining, I believe you need to setup a geocaching.com account (free) and link to that with Cachly. I used it with a Girl Scout troop in Pennsylvania. Kids loved it and we made a cache: Cookie Cache

I'll have to checkout cachly.

I'm surprised more rv people aren't into geocaching.

If you are still with the girl scout troup show them this post and let them discover the Travel Trailer Bug

ckreef, I love geocaching, got a few smiley faces in my log book!!! Travel bugs were great fun, grandchildren always liked when we found one. Not many these days. I hope to do more in our travels. Our 2600RB is due in later this month so will start camping early Sept. I will look for your" bug" at every site we go to, I'd love to log the traveling travel bug!!

I have the Geocache app and use that now but it costs 30 year for premium which means I can see and get everyone where the free app has limited caches....I find that to be one of the bad things about Geocaching, it used to be better before they charged.

Geocaching is a nice compliment to camping. On our last trip to Mountain View Campground in Hiawassee, Ga we did a few interesting caches. One took us to a really nice, small Vinyard and the other took us hiking up a nice mountain stream.

If you ever spot us make sure you stop by and say hi.

I currently am a premium member. I too liked it better when it was totally free. I resisted going premium for a long time. Just this spring went premium. I hate paying for it but the premium caches tend to be better caches.

We retired in 2010 and started geocaching and RVing. In the course of our travels, we've found caches in all 50 states. Geocaching has taken us to many places that we would not have seen otherwise. Another tool for findng interesting places as we wander around. Once smart phones came out, we pretty much stopped using our hand-held GPS and use c:geo on our android. I've also found it's a great excuse to go for hikes that I probably would not have done.

I'm surprised more rv'ers don't go caching. Rv'ing/camping and caching go together so well. We go camping once a month and use caching to go out exploring. It will definitely take you to places you would not likely find without caching. If you ever spot us out in the wild stop by and say hi.

I had to google 'geocaching'..

Might give it a go next camping season.

My sister and brother-in-law are heavily into geocaching. She keeps trying to get me more into it. I do cache, but only easy ones, I'm not a fan of having to climb the nearest mountain, then up a tree to find caches. So far, I've found caches in all the states and provinces indicated in my signature map.

Well, plus Hawaii and Luxembourg.

How did you get trailer THERE?!?!



LOL

I was saying all the states/provinces in the map (where we've camped with our trailer) I've found caches in. PLUS I've found caches in Hawaii & Luxembourg (not camping, just traveling).

Seasoned rver’s & geo cacherse ( elighscoming) we luv this hobby it takes u places u would never find on your own and the thrill of the hunt, travel bugs, earth caches, puzzle caches, challenge caches... no problem paying the $ 30. It helps protect the quality of the players although u can get involved for free to b sure u like the game before becoming a premium member

Thanks! I have one of my Jeep. I might have to move it to my camper. I love geocaching too. A group of us plan on geocaching during our camping trips this summer.
