Geocaching! Finding my first geocache was the defining moment of the past year for me. It's the perfect quarantine activity, and what's more is that there are geocaches everywhere. Anytime I go somewhere new (or places I've been but haven't geocached) I check the geocache app. It's the perfect way to rediscover your city/town.
Some of the geocaches are incredibly clever too. Just yesterday I found a geocache on a hike. The hike was in the high desert (sagebrush mostly) where there was a lot of debris (ancient rusted cars, shotgun shells, wood pallets, etc). I was having trouble finding the cache which was GPS-ed next to a felled tree, when I noticed two shotgun shells, one yellow, one red, pushed inside each other, on the ground near the log. I thought to myself that's weird, someone was sitting on this tree log futzing with empty shotgun shells, then I continued my search. I would have overlooked it if it weren't for the hint: "blends in". Sure enough, the cache was inside the two shells! I was the 3rd person to ever find it. Very satisfying!
