My son really wants to go see Echo. I haven’t participated in geocaching, but it does always sound fun!
I have thought about doing this with my kids a few times. We letterbox and this seems like the next step.
oh this looks super cool! i am going to tell my sister, her kids would love this
I’ve heard about this. It became popular my senior year of college. I’ve never done it, but I’ve had friends who really enjoyed it.
It sounds amazing! I think my son would love that!
