Why does Mom and/or Dad geocache?
Kelly, age 17
Daddy Geocaches because he is a little "off." He enjoys looking for Tupperware but yells at me when I don't take it from the dishwasher and put it in the cupboard. I tried to explain to him that the puzzle places coordinates in the dishwasher but he doesn't buy it. Sometimes I don't understand adults. It's ok to leave Tupperware in the middle of nowhere but not in the dishwasher.
