You’ll hear how a single experiment near Portland, Oregon, in 2000 turned into a global movement connecting millions of adventurers.We’ll explore how the geocaching community grew — from the first online logs and family outings to international events and creative cache types that range from underwater challenges to brain-teasing puzzles. Along the way, we’ll uncover its impact on outdoor recreation, education, and environmental stewardship.From high-tech treasure hunters to curious beginners, geocaching offers something for everyone — adventure, learning, and connection. So grab your GPS or smartphone, step outside, and discover the treasures hiding in plain sight.Thank You for listening and Stay curious,Kat & WilliamEmail  [email protected] you would like to support Info On The Go click the link belowhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2434258/support Follow us wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a review.Follow us on Facebook at Info on the Go!https://www.facebook.com/share/g/159DdiptQh/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://infoonthego.buzzsprout.com Being Me Is the Best Thing to Be by Judy Erb tells the story of Honey, a curious little turtle who learns that being herself is the very best thing to be.
