Questions for the driver license test
1) Being a kid again Maryland http://driver-start.com/maryland You heard correctly,
this is my personal favorite reason to participate in geocaching. I remember
going on treasure hunts as a child and drawing out intricate maps and
pretending for days, even weeks on end that I was a pirate in search of some
rare treasure. That treasure usually ended up being holly berries or a rather
large pinecone, but it was the thrill of the hunt that was important.
2) Enjoying the great outdoors. You may
argue that one can do that anytime and wouldn't really need geocaching in order
to do so. You would be correct, however, geocaching can take you hiking,
biking, swimming, and mountain climbing in search of one little prize stash.
Most of us wouldn't tackle all of those things in the course of an afternoon.
In other words it's a way to experience the great outdoors only intensified.
3) Learning about others. When Geocaching
you can find Maryland of neat and nifty treasures. The idea is that if you
take something you should leave something behind and create a log. You learn
about a lot of different people by examining the treasures they've left behind
and reading the logs. You will experience many different people from many
different cultures as this seems to be a rather universal pastime in which all
ages and cultures spend hours upon hours participating.
4) Being a part of something bigger than
us. I remember watching Treasure Hunters on NBC last summer. They were all off
in search of a specific treasure but kept getting clues at different
destinations along the way. Geocaching might not have a million dollar payoff
but there are little treasures along the way and many people participate which
makes the hunt thrilling and fun at the same time. By participating you are one
of many people who will tread the same ground and seek the same treasure. It is
a unifying experience in many ways and can be excitingly competitive.
