On Themes
January 16, 2007 | 12:52 pm
I love themed caches.
We have a friend, an ardent geocacher, who loves Shakespeare. Most of his caches have to do with The Bard in some form or another. My husband Paul does individually themed caches, or sometimes a themed series of caches. For our Bread & Roses events, for example, he’s done a series of caches named for different roses – eglantine rose, dog rose, etc.
Near us there’s a series named after a pirate, called Captain MacGregor; and all the caches follow the pirate motif. And in Massachusetts there’s a very famous (well, famous within the geocaching community!) series of caches called the Middlesex Canal caches.
Maybe it’s because I’m a wordsmith by profession and avocation, but these enterprises delight me. I love the clues that can be given within a theme – and, frankly, the education that can come from them as well. One doesn’t necessarily go geocaching to learn something; but one almost always does, one way or another.
