I find it ironic that the drama in here started because there was a misconception to the appeal of Geocaching and yet I pointed to the most likely culprit to the appeal of Geocaching in my post in here.

I think the greatest appeal for geocaching has got to be that, most geocaching locations are located on rather active trails or bike paths through woodland areas. The geocache in itself acts as an 'easter egg' so to say, that would be otherwise excruciatingly hard to find without any sort of hints or assistance in finding it.

ShadoWolfe hit another appeal on the head for it. It can also act as a destination, or point of interest during a hike, where people can write a note for the geocache indicating they hiked to that location and found it. People can also exchange trinkets & oddities at the same time, but it's not necessary.
