ACTION
a small, royal-blue carabiner. (The Shrek doll remained in the cache.) You can also buy ‘geocoins’ with serial numbers, which are meant to be taken and then deposited in another cache (ideally, on the other side of the planet), so diehard geocachers can track their whereabouts. Just call it geo-trainspotting. And don’t forget the requisite logbook and pencil. “Finding a cache is like winning at something,” says Intrepid Family X (Member C). “It’s better than Bingo,” says Member D. Intrepid Family X could tell you more about this great sport – about how the foursome had tried for weeks in vain to find a geocache in their home DB village, one rated ‘easy’ on the forum, and which others had found quickly, though the cache had been declared ‘cleverly hidden’. They had gone to other DB villages, too, and had come up emptyhanded each time. For a while, Member B had come to the conclusion that geocaching was a stunt, or that geocaches were being removed. But then one day, Intrepid Family X (Member C) found something on his/ her first try. It was a nano. He/ she unscrewed the pellet and gingerly pulled out a tiny scroll of paper. The family’s first cache had finally been found. Member B said it was reminiscent of the inside
of his/ her Tibetan prayer wheel – but that would be telling. If you join the secret society, just mind your manners – and stay clear of Muggles.
