I've gone on a few of these adventures. Even set one up... a pirate one! Had a lot of people come and visit. It was great fun. Haven't done it for sometime now. MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmm.... perhaps, an adventure is awaiting. :thumbup:

It's a great way to see things you wouldn't otherwise get to see. I've lived in this area my whole life and have been absolutely tickled at finding things I never knew were there - just because we were geocaching!

If you don't have a GPS or smart phone, you can still participate in this fun activity. It's simply known by a different name "Letterboxing". This is actually how we started out years ago, before it went digital. A lot of the destinations are set up like a treasure hunt, you follow clues and hints to find the box and usually there's a rubber stamp of some kind inside. You keep a little book and stamp the pages, like a passport, and the book becomes your souvenir.

In THIS context, she's talking about people going about their business who have no idea that there is a Geocache nearby. It's preferred that the caches are kept somewhat secret to avoid sabotage or destruction.
In the ORIGINAL context, Muggles are a term that came from the Harry Potter series, a Muggle is a person who lacks magical abilities and was not born into a magical family.
