I can actually see myself having a bit of fun with geocaching, I like the idea of participating as a family with my children, and teaching them that there's more to the world than computers, books and skateboarding!
The idea of trying to attract youth into participating seems optimistic, I remember being a teen and heading of on orienteering courses, filled with disdain for this utter waste of my time... I suppose if we tried to catch the kids a little younger we'd have more chance ;)
I would be willing to investigate geocaching further for our library service, though here in the Cooby Hood the chances of a cache remaining unvandalised are zilch.zip.nada.zero ...sigh...
I looked at a few of the geocaching that other libraries are undertaking and felt that similar set ups could work for the City of Cockburn, we have this awesome area at Manning Park which would be perfect for cache hiding. Shame there's no cafe there though (sometimes I get the feeling that my life is ruled by access to caffeine).
