Geocaching is a game where you get a GPS and hunt for ammo cans and Tupperware hidden by other players. So - we hike along trails and other areas looking for plastic in the woods
~~ Along Rails to Trails paths.....
~~ Along abandoned rail lines
~~ I have 5 Geocaches that I hid, and all 5 teach some sort of Railroad History
~~ I have met 4 or 5 other Cachers that also are interested in railroading and history
~~ I've met a few people that have had relatives that worked for Baldwin Locomotive Works
Still haven't found anyone with a model railroad ...............yet
..... But all of this is due to another hobby entirely
Funny - We're geocachers. too, and we're hiding stuff along along old rail grades in our area just like you are.
