They share: We are a family geocaching team in Loganville, GA. We have been caching for around 2 years since my Dad bought us our 1st GPS and introduced us to geocaching. It is always a family affair. Our kids are 3yrs old and 17 months and love caching with us. It is an great family activity that gets us outdoors and to places we have never been before. My husband, David is a Dekalb County Fireman who usually gets the hard job of carrying the 17mth old, Kendall on his back. Our son, Avery made his first find all by himself a few weeks ago in Ohio. He loves finding everything from an ammo box to a nano. He knows it is the thrill of the hunt! I am usually there to catch all of the excitement in photos and keep us going through out the day. We love introducing new families to geocaching and would love to plan a family meet and greet one day!

Tips for Geocaching with Kids
 Summer is almost here in the northern hemisphere and most kids are out of school or will be out shortly. Father's Day is right around the corner, the days are getting longer and the call of the Lock N Locks out in the wild is luring geocachers outdoors.
Many families take the opportunity of summer break to cache with their children and grandchildren. To help make these caching outings picture perfect and keep the kids inspired, interested and happy, we would like to offer some tips for caching with kids. These tips come from the geocaching family Dasky2869, who love geocaching with their kids!
Here are a few of the things we have learned along the way while geocaching with our kids:
- Park-n-grabs don't really count to the kids if they never get out of the car...save these for sleeping kids in the car seats.
- Mix in a few larger caches with your micros for the day...it keeps the kids interested.
- Remember to have the "micros don't have toys talk" BEFORE you find one.

Joy of Geocaching
 Just in time for summer reading, The Joy of Geocaching gives readers everything they need to take off on their own exciting geocaching adventure, with plain-English instructions on selecting the right GPS equipment, locating and hiding geocaches, and finding other geocachers to play with.
The Joy of Geocaching profiles some of the world's most experienced geocachers and their secrets of advanced geocaching, like extreme geocaching (tackling the toughest hiking, climbing and rafting challenges to find a cache) and power geocaching (finding the most caches possible in a 24-hour period). There are even useful tips for dealing with "Muggles" (à la Harry Potter, that's what geocachers call nongeocachers), who occasionally think mysterious strangers planting and unearthing geocaches must be terrorists!
More than just a game, geocaching is a remarkable new social phenomenon that has brought people from many different backgrounds to a common purpose. The Joy of Geocaching takes the reader deep into the human side of geocaching, with wonderful stories about how the pursuit of hidden treasure has helped people heal frayed marriages, establish new friendships, and even save lives.
Throughout, the Gillins emphasize that geocaching is a wholesome outdoor activity that brings family and friends together. The Joy of Geocaching provides numerous tips on using geocaching to teach children an appreciation of nature and essential reading, math and technical skills. The book also suggests creative ways that businesses can use geocaching for promotions and team-building exercises.
Geocaching is more than just a game-it's a life-changing force that reconnects people with their planet, their families and themselves. Rediscover the joy of the outdoors with The Joy of Geocaching!
