My husband and I were introduced to Geocaching this weekend. What fun! We took our dogs too! This is a great new hobby we want to get in to. Makes exercising fun and you get to explore places you might not ever go to. Pretty neat!

Also, a lot of people incorporate their dogs into this hobby so they get to go on hikes and adventures. Some locations have toys for the dogs so there's a surprise for both LOL!

Anyone tried it?

I love geocaching! I haven't done much lately though, my GPS stopped working. I finally got a new one but it's way more complicated than my last one so I don't use it much.
I made my last dog a Travelbug, and Bianca has a Geocoin she wears when caching so I can log the caches she finds with me (and any other geocachers we meet.) There's also at least one geocoin I know of with a GSD on it but I think it's rare.

This is the Geocoin Bianca has:

I LOVE geocaching. We haven't been in a couple of years, but we took Bison with us. He thought it was boring. He just wanted to go back to the car and play ball.

We did one cache that was just for dogs. It was cool.

I just signed up at Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site. Our friend that took use this weekend used his GPS and info.

Found a ton of cache's in my area, and all the ones I saw near/in the National Park DO allow dogs.

Geocaching > Hide and Seek a Geocache > Search for Geocaches

Though do be careful with hunting season coming up, make sure you and your dog wear blaze orange!
