The Modern Treasure Hunt

Q: What exactly is geocaching, and how do I get started around Madison?
Geocaching is like a GPS-powered scavenger hunt. Using a smartphone app or GPS device, you search for hidden containers (called “geocaches”) placed by other adventurers. Madison has several caches tucked away in parks and greenways... try Dublin Park or Rainbow Mountain to start. Just download a free app like Geocaching® and you’re off!

Q: What do I need to bring when I go geocaching?
Start with your phone (with a geocaching app), a pen to sign logbooks and maybe a few small trinkets for trading (like keychains or coins). It’s also smart to wear comfy shoes and bring water... it’s Alabama, stay hydrated y'all.

Q: Is geocaching kid-friendly and safe for families?
Absolutely! It’s a great way to explore the outdoors together, with caches ranging from easy-to-find to seriously tricky. Just stick to daylight hours, respect nature and keep an eye on little explorers near creeks or trails. Bonus: it’s screen time with fresh air!

She Wishes She Could Unsee it

It arrived in the mail... Muahaha!

My daughter screamed and my son gagged. But I couldn't stop laughing.

When I put it on... all eyes were on me.

Was it real? Was it safe? Why did it jiggle like that?

Most looked in horror but some looked in admiration.

A neighborhood kid pointed. His mom pretended she didn't see. But deep down, she knew it was inappropriate.

And that’s what made it perfect.
