Go Geocaching
“There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy’s life that he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.”
Mark Twain
Find the World\’s Hidden Treasure Chests
After reading Dream Big, Love Big, & Think Big, we hope you realize how important finding treasure in our own chest can be. To build community & continue practicing your treasure hunting skills, find The World’s Treasure – GEOCACHING!
What is Geocaching?
Geocaching is an outdoor high tech game where participants use A Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device to play hide-and-go seek with containers called “CACHES”.
The typical cache is a waterproof container containing a logbook & pencil. When the geocacher finds it, they enter the date & sign their established code name. The larger caches usually contain items for trading, like toys, trinkets, or geocaching swag – Trackables, GeoCoins, Pins, Travel Bugs, etc.
Caches can vary in size, difficulty, & location. They have evolved into other areas like virtual caches, earth caches, scavenger hunt caches, webcam caches, night caches. The list is seemingly endless.

Why Geocaching?
Our family and friends started Geocaching after I wrote Dream Big. We have had so much fun. It’s great for every age, and the thrill of finding the cache never gets old. We also like to leave some sort of CATCH-M TREASURE behind, something with a smiling face on it 🙂
PLEASE HELP US TO SPREAD THE SMILES: Leave your own CATCH-M TREASURES or create your own CATCH-M Cache too.
“Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.”
Paulo Coelho
Geocaching has also been a dynamic way for schools, camps, & neighborhoods to create connection, as well as, provide fun & engaging ways to educate. Come up with your own ideas & please share them with us.
Know, just like a cache, no dream is ever to big or small to pursue. The thrill of finding the treasure in your own chest is beyond amazing! As a wise sage once said, “The hidden treasure in our chest can be endless!”
PLEASE SHARE PHOTOS, VIDEOS, YOUR CATCH-M CACHES, OR ANY OTHER IDEAS YOU HAVE ON GEOCACHING!
We’d love to see, build community, and celebrate the quest for our dreams together.
