Hide and Seek: Life Lessons of a Geocacher

by Gary Slinkard

What’s so great about geocaching? Geocaching is the outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to hide and seek containers at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world. But it is so much more than that! It is where it takes you to find them, it’s the people you meet and the challenge of the hunt. Gary takes you beyond the container and opens up the world of adventure around us and the adventure within us that has too often been lost. Journey with him as he tells you the obstacles, the disappointments but also the health benefits and the joy and the true treasure waiting to be found!

Anyone who follows me knows how much I love to geocache. There are very few books out there about my hobby, though. One author I tried to read who incorporated geocaching into his stories is a former FBI agent who thinks a “final solution” for drug addicts is okay. Yeah, he was tossed aside pretty quickly.

I saw this book on Kindle Unlimited and decided to give it a shot. Hide and Seek: Life Lessons of a Geocacher sounded to me like it would be akin to the Chicken Soup for the Baseball Fan’s Soul that I read one off-season. I mean, it says “Life Lessons” right in the title so I thought this was going to be about going to find a geocache and having an adventure and learning something from it. Maybe one geocache per chapter and what was special and why he learned something.

Instead, this is more of a “how-to” book. That’s fine as it is, it just wasn’t what I was expecting.
