🐍 Not every geocache is tricky to find… 🐍 Some are just waiting for you to notice them. Geocaching is a real-world treasure hunt using GPS—and this is what a find looks like. 🤗 Video by teamfaint. Video: A geocacher stands in the woods next to a cluster of thin trees. Tied to one of the trees is a wooden box with the Geocaching logo. The cacher unlocks the front of the box and removes a metal chain and a magnet. To the right of the box is a flexible plastic tube tied to another tree and decorated like a snake. They move the magnet along the length of the tube to the snake’s mouth, revealing a magnetic geocache container. #geocaching #gecache #adventure #explore #fun

🔩 You may need to “guard” your secrets, or else you’d better “bolt!” 🔩 Would this be the first place you looked? 😲 Video: A geocacher approaches a guard rail. They look behind the guardrail where a large bolt is connected to a wooden post. They rotate the nut attached to the bolt to reveal a metallic nano geocache container inserted into a hole in the nut. They remove the container and show it off to the camera. #geocaching #geocache #adventure #explore #nature

😳 This might be the hardest geocache ever. 😳 People think geocaching is just finding containers in a park… 🧗  Would you try this—YES or NO? Let us know in the comments. Video by ollis.welt_. Video: A bridge stretches over a river while two people hang beneath it using ropes and harnesses. They carefully inspect a strange red wooden figure sitting on a swing suspended from the middle of the bridge. They inspect it while looking for the log sheet. #geocaching #geocache #explore #adventure #extremesports

🏙️ Urban caching takes a different approach 🏙️ 🧑‍🏫 Pro tip: they’re usually smaller and magnetic to blend in with their environment 🧑‍🏫 Video: Quick shots of an urban environment, “I can’t go geocaching, I live in the city.” A compilation of sneaky urban caches, “look closer.” #geocaching #geocache #urbanexplorers #urbanadventures #outdooractivities

🪨 It’s not a rock 🪨 🚴 Do you plan your route around caches or grab the ones you’re already passing? 🚴 Video: A rock on the side of a trail, then a bike tire screeches into the foreground, and a geocacher grabs the rock. A bike route with caches along it is shown, with the text, “This isn’t a rock… it’s your next stop.” #geocaching #geocache #cycling #bike #adventure

✊ Knock knock, who’s there? ✊ 🤪 Geocache! 🤪 Video by Spire67 and Scuba2. Video: Video: A lion-shaped metal door knocker on a brick wall hides a clever geocache. A geocacher presses a button, knocks four times, then seven, triggering flashing lights and releasing a petling with a log sheet into a cup below. #geocaching #geocache #nature #adventure #explore

👀 Don’t miss a smiley! 👀 🗺️ How many times a day do you check the map? 🗺️ Video: “How many geocaches do you walk past every day?” A fire hydrant in the foreground with a person walking past in the background. A hand reaches in and grabs a nano cache that was hidden among the fire hydrant’s bolts. “More than you think.” A smiley appears above the hiding spot. #geocaching #geocache #hidden #urban #adventure

👀 Quick! Spot the correct log hiding the geocache before time runs out! 👀 ⤵️ Did you find it? Let us know in the comments! ⤵️ Video: Two wooden logs rest against a tree trunk, with a 5-second timer displayed in the middle. After the timer runs out, the video pans to the log on the left, and a hand reaches in to inspect the log more closely. The geocacher determines the cache is not there and moves to the log on the right, quickly finding where the log separates. They lift the wooden lid to reveal the bison container neatly lodged inside. #geocaching #geocache #explore #challenge #game

💚 Geocache of the Week 💚 🚀 Spaceballs the Cache (GCBKC4T) blasts into the spotlight at ludicrous speed this week. 🚀 🍿 What’s your favorite line from the movie? Video: A geocacher approaches a camouflaged container attached to a tree. They unlatch the protective cover to expose a coiled rubber hose containing three different-colored beads inside the body—the cover itself contains the cache, protected by a combination lock. The geocacher plays with the mechanism that releases the beads. They use the numbers on the beads to crack the lock’s combination, revealing the log sheet. #geocaching #geocache #explore #adventure #spaceballs
