I just started geocaching last weekend. Found two of them.I always thought it would be boring and nerdy, but I had fun.

@niknik212121 In case nobody has answered your question wherigo is a cache that involves downloading a program on either your smart phone or wherigo enabled gpsr. the program is typically a game or sometimes a tour of a historical area such as the alamo. It might direct you to different locations and have characters that talk to you. letterboxing is bassically when you find a physical cache and stamp a log book you own with a stamp inside the letterbox...

@niknik212121 I have had so many geocachers ask for a description of the other geocache types that I will be making one about them too. thanks for the suggestions.

Welcome to the obsession :) Most webcam geocaches do not have a physical geocache per say. You in most cases have to have a counter part at at computer who brings up a designated website with the webcam. Then with you in the shot they save a screen shot as proof you were there. Then you send the screen shot to the owner of that webcam geocache.
Hope this helps, if not let me know.

Thanks for watching! There are so many types of geocaches and I only had a few minutes to go over even a few of them. Yep Webcam caches are like virtuals and you can't make any more but the ones that are still out there are cool. The 10 year was a one time icon but again very cool. I want to get out to Washington and get the groundspeak one myself. Can't wait and thanks for chiming in.
