Geocaching, hide and seek treasure hunt
Published 9:58am Thursday, April 12, 2012You can join and find out more info at geocaching.com. The website is where you join, get your GPS coordinates, clues, rate the geocache and log your results as a find or not found. And if this is something you are really into, there are higher levels of membership you can join. Some of these folks have large events that last a weekend and involve repelling, caves, etc.
I hope this is something your whole family can enjoy that will get you outdoors. If you decide to give it a try, our first one was titled: Mill Spring Park and Grab, a fairly easy one to get you started. And one of our favorites is in downtown Columbus. It’s titled Buffalo’s Polk County Settlers — you just might learn a bit on this one.

Glad you’re enjoying geocaching, Rob! Great article, and I also read your piece on Big Bradley Falls. Now you’ll have to go back to Big Bradley, because there’s a fine geocache there, a well-hidden ammo can down below the falls. Several other geocaches are sprinkled along the trail, too.
By the way, as you mentioned in your waterfall article, going to the base of Big Bradley Falls is a dangerous endeavor unless you’re equipped with rock climbing gear and the knowledge to use it correctly. If you don’t have it, peruse the finders of GC6A02 on Geocaching.com. There are several WNC and upstate SC geocaching groups who have the necessary items and might not mind including you in their next trip.
Happy caching!
