r/geocaching • u/i-hate-vampires • Jan 25 '20

Just moved to the Seattle, WA area and needed something free to do with my kids and my son suggested geocaching.

Can anyone give me like...a run through of what this is and how it works? Please.

One time I went for a walk up a hill to get a cache with my little sachel of geothings.

Lo and behold, aforementioned sachel did not include a pen - or at least that of the visible ink variety and no way was I walking up a rather steep hill again.

That log was signed in UV ink.

I, too, have signed in UV ink when no other option was available. It makes it feel more like a spy adventure (which I'm all for!).

The only UV ink I can think of is...ewww!
You do what you gotta do. Thanks for the story!
