Now me and my darling dec<\/span><span style=\"font-family:arial;\">ided to start one together. The kind that would give us something to do together and would also take us outdoors. I first heard about this a couple of years ago. But when I read about it in <a href=\"http:\/\/ellinkuvablogi.blogspot.com\/2009\/05\/geokatkeilya-ja-muita-kuulumisia.html\">Elli&#8217;s blog<\/a> <span style=\"font-size:85%;\">(in finnish)<\/span>, I decided to learn more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Geocaching is<\/span> worldwide hobby. With the assistance of a satellite navigator <\/span><span style=\"font-family:arial;\">you are able to search for small or larger caches that are hidden by other geocachers. In the cache you will find a logbook, a pencil, info about geocaching, possibly small gifts and\/or geo-items. The smallest caches can be smaller than camerafilm container whilst the biggest can be about 1-1,5 litre plastic container. When you find a cache you mark the date and your name on the logbook.  Gifts are usually small toys or plastic figurines for kids. They can be also keyrings, foreign currency or like we found in one cache, screws =) Geo-items are either geocoins or travel bugs, which you don&#8217;t get for your own. Travellers are going from cache to cache, from person to person. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">We&#8217;ve been<\/span> geocaching now actively about 1,5 weeks and found about 30 caches. We hold at the moment one geocoin and two travel bugs. Owners can put tasks for these tra<\/span><span style=\"font-family:arial;\">vellers and every person who finds them must try to help to perform the task. One travel bug wants to be in photos while eating ice cream, another wants to travel to caches near fishing areas or swimming beaches. Geocoin wants to travel to new caches with horror movie-fans.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_7ICt0n5OGYg\/SkPhUZFSxyI\/AAAAAAAABmo\/8rMNjPqfPFs\/s1600-h\/k%C3%A4tk%C3%B6ily%C3%A43.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_7ICt0n5OGYg\/SkPhUZFSxyI\/AAAAAAAABmo\/8rMNjPqfPFs\/s400\/k%C3%A4tk%C3%B6ily%C3%A43.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351368522693003042\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\";font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;\"  ><span style=\"font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;\">Varsinainen aarrek\u00e4tk\u00f6!<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;\">Some treasure-cache!<\/span><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:arial;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">People warned<\/span> us about caching, there is no return. Since we started it we have come to notice that it&#8217;s not a few minutes we spend on our computers by getting to know new caches, solving puzzles and putting co-ordinates on our navigator, but hours. But the fun part is to find the exact cache. Co-ordinates lead to near the cache but finding it might be sometimes very challenging.  Some ca<\/span><span style=\"font-family:arial;\">ches are easy to find, some might take several days. So-called multi-caches and puzzle-caches are a chapter of their own. You might have to solve puzzles or make tricky calculations before you get the final co-ordinates. Geocahing-eye developes rather rapidly though and you learn to notice potential places for a cache. There is still lot to search. In Finland alone there are almost 10 000 caches. Locations can be anywhere from a city center to the wilderness. You can find caches from small villages but on the top of the statistics are big cities.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-family:arial;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Caching might<\/span> seem like a rather lonely hobby, but it isn&#8217;t so. One promin<\/span><span style=\"font-family:arial;\">ent feature is that what ever the location of the cache might be, you must search it and retrieve it from its hidden place without others noticing. Rather soon you learn to notice other cachers in public. Typical features are nosing around, checking random locations, walking up and down on the street, snooping around bushes, turning stones around, fiddling with your navi or phone, tieing your shoelaces more than necessary etc. Geocacher recognises other geocacher and it is not very rare to bump into one, especially in cities. Quite often they do searching together and exchange experiences and tips. Geocachers also arrange meetings.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_7ICt0n5OGYg\/SkPhUOqhPGI\/AAAAAAAABmg\/tNO7JXy5Yj0\/s1600-h\/k%C3%A4tk%C3%B6ily%C3%A44.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_7ICt0n5OGYg\/SkPhUOqhPGI\/AAAAAAAABmg\/tNO7JXy5Yj0\/s400\/k%C3%A4tk%C3%B6ily%C3%A44.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351368519896349794\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-family:georgia;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">V\u00e4synyt k\u00e4tk\u00f6ilij\u00e4<br \/>Tired geocacher<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:georgia;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><br \/>If this<\/span> has got you interested you can find out more about geocaching on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/\">The Official Global GPS Cache search-site<\/a>. But I must warn you. When caching takes you, it is not the free hobby, as it may seem. Even though you can do caching without navi <span style=\"font-size:85%;\">(<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Letterboxing\">letterboxing<\/a>)<\/span> it is an essential tool for the true-cacher. Additional equipment are waterproof pen or pencil, waterproof notebook, torch, protective gloves, silica-bags, resealable bags, small gifts, cache-boxes, geocoins and travelbugs. When you start making your own caches or travelbugs you quite easily can use hundreds of euros. Fine and rare geocoins can cost 20-30 euros each. Caching can be also dangerous hobby. Some caches require good physics, acrobatic movements or terrain can be difficult to go to. And there is even one cache in Helsinki where you have to put yourself in immediate risk of death. Due to the sneaky character this hobby might also take you in the hands of authorities. Only week after we started geocaching we had our first encounter with the police. We were looking for a cache on the yard of large shop-building, late in the evening. We left the premises by car and happened to have <span style=\"font-size:85%;\">(totally coincedentally)<\/span> large empty boxes on the backseat of our car. Didn&#8217;t take long when flashy blue lights demanded us to stop. Geocache-info note we had on us helped to explain what we were doing, but ofcourse they checked our identities and car information before they let us go. Apparently there was other suspicious people in the area they were looking for. So you might want to think twice before you let it get you. If you got interested: welcome, but you have been warned!<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar uri = 'http:\/\/impfi.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(iframe)pool(325920)a(1605992)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\ndocument.write('<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"'+uri +'\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" frameborder=\"0\" border=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>');\n<\/script><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aika harvoin tulee aloitettua ihan uutta harrastusta.
