I've been using the Geocaching free app, haven't had a chance to go looking yet, but there a ton of them within walking distance of my house.

Save any caches you want to work to the Offline List. This way, if you are out of service, like all of the rural caches I work, you have the cache data saved to your phone.
and that is with the free version of the app? Very cool, i will do that next time!

Sorry, IIRC, you don't need a paid Premium online account. I do not remember if the free version of the Android app will allow saving for offline use. I have a free online account and paid for app, which allows me to save for offline.
C:geo is a free app on android that gives you all the premium features and displays premium caches for free. The GUI is not as pretty as the official app, but I think it's better overall.

My kids and I have been doing this for a while now, if anyone is interested, were mellowdave and hunterfamilyatx on the geocache app
We do a little geocaching now and then. i find that sometimes the geocaching website is the perfect place to look if we are trying to find a neat, or interesting destination to road trip to during the day, or even to locate geocaches along the way on a longer trip.
This one here, is by far my favorite geocache so far. I'm a bit of an old mine junkie and love to hike, and this one ticked off all the boxes and more:

We tend to just work it into the rhythm. When were waiting on something, or were tired of driving, or whatever. BL there is almost always a cache nearby, so we just pick it up while were out and about.

We do them here and there, it's a lot of fun and gets you out into nature. There's quite a few in my area which is even better!
Yep, search TheBarefootFamily, since my accident, I have not gone and done much but we try when and where we can.
I have found these out and about while camping or hiking by accident. I even found one in a super random old library book! the pages were cut out to fit a small box Kinda messed up but fun to find.
@dmurph1996 No problem.
I was out in Manistee National Forest this past weekend and forgot to do some caching. I'll probably hit up a few parks I seen on my way back home.
I have been geocaching off and on for a few years now. But I prefer the ones hidden out in remote areas with the terrain difficulty fairly high. It's not my idea of fun to lift a skirt on a light pole in a walmart parking lot to find a geocache.
Geocaching is awesome... my brother and I did this together and we even tried to get a small PCB board from Southwest Michigan (where he lives) to Silicon Valley (where I live). Needless to say it's been over two years and it hasn't made it here yet and I haven't gotten any email updates on it whereabouts over a year. Boo. Oh well, it was a fun experiment all the same.

I love to geocache too. Originally, my geocaching name was a lot longer but it was taking way too long to log into Geocaching.com and sign the logbooks. About a year ago, I changed my geocaching name to a ham license name, which is my ham callsign. I tend to go geocaching most weekends and the jeep is the perfect vehicle for those hard to get to geocaches.
