Earthcaches
Jan. 11th, 2014 09:26 pmYesterday was the tenth anniversary of Earthcaches... a different sort of Geocache where the object is to take you to a spot with, usually, geological significance and hopefully get you to learn something. The requirements for them are a bit different from your average cache, since there's no physical container and, well, the aforementioned desire to have you learn from the experience. Usually you have to email the cache owner with the answers to some questions (things you can observe at the site, often related to information given in the cache description) and sometimes also a photo of yourself at the site in question.
I decided to celebrate the anniversary by actually finding an Earthcache and went searching for one close to home that I hadn't already done... and came up with one up in Snohomish. The locals call it Spirit Rock and kids from the nearby high school will paint it with messages (mostly related to the school, near as I can tell).
( It's a big rock... I can't wait to tell all my friends. )
