As I started reading this book, I knew it was going to be different than other "how to" books on the subject of Geocaching. It does give you a good, basic information about geocaching - enough to get you out and finding your first geocache. But then it goes much farther - not only does it tell you about how to geocache, but gives much insight into how one can enjoy geocaching. This is what makes the book as valuable and enjoyable for someone who has over 1000 finds as someone about to embark on their first find.

The book teaches you how to appreciate the game and suggests ways of thinking about your activity and your role in the active geocaching community. It seems to me that the game is becoming more and more focused on numbers and statistics. It's easy to get caught up in that aspect of the game and forget about some of the truly enjoyable experiences that I've had while caching.

It's especially easy for a person new to geocaching to immediately get immersed in the numbers. I don't think there's anything wrong with the numbers game (for the most part). But, you may find an untapped source of enjoyment by taking some of the advice in this book to heart.

This should be required reading for all experienced cachers as well as the new ones. A great treatment of my favorite hobby. TFTB!

The adventure of traveling off the beaten path

"Open your heart" not only introduces geocaching but it also asks the reader to consider that geocaching will refresh their view on life. Wandering down trails you have traveled before becomes all new again when you know there is a hidden treasure - the cache. The author captures the short history of geocaching, personal stories and explores the way this relatively new activity opens people up to the wonder of the world around them.

On a personal level, my girl scout troop is going on a hike in the woods with a whole new purpose besides being "tortured, and forced to exercise". They are excited to be going out there now. As they say in the Mastercard world: Priceless.
Modern-Day Treasure Hunts!

Geocaching? I had never heard of it until Jeannette introduced me to this creative way of exploring our world through her book, Open Your Heart with Geocaching. You can think of geocaching as a scavenger hunt that uses modern day technology (GPS) to find the "treasures." This fun book will introduce you to everything you need to know! You will listen in on conversations with devotees, you will learn about the different varieties of caches, be introduced to Geo-events, and even learn to create your own cache. This book is a must-read for lovers of Geocaching and anyone seeking to learn about it.
