Geocaching is a global treasure hunt game using a GPS to seek out places and things
other geocachers want you to find. Geocaching can be any number of things to each
individual; to some it's going on long hikes in forest preserves, for others it's all about the
hunt and finding well hidden micro cache, maybe to you it's traveling around the country or
even the world to new unusual places you'd never find on your own. Geocaching can be
done as a solo adventure or with your family and friends.  You can combine; photography,
hiking, biking, canoing, exploring, and even solving puzzles and riddles.

Train Fan Clubs & Geocaching
Cheeseburgers in Paradise is an
annual event which gives
geocachers as a community the
opportunity to help our neighbors
who are less fortunate while having
a good time. In 2012 we collected
134 pounds of non-parishable food
and $476.58 with the donations
going to the Northern Illinois Food
Bank (NIFB).

New Feature January 27, 2013 -  Geocaching Statistics
On May 3, 2000, a five-gallon bucket was placed in Oregon by Dave Ulmer. He
challenged others to find the stash and soon after the coordinates were  listed on the
internet and modern-day geocaching was born. Soon geocaches were popping up
around the United States and soon after that geocachers started looking at statistics.
Friday Lunch Club Events
Friday Lunch Clubs got their start in the
Southwest suburbs of Chicago founded by
Panther In the Den, Fed, Herbs2, and Eagle
Son. Since then versions of the Friday Lunch
Club have appeared in Elk Grove Village,
Chicago Loop, northwest Indiana and the far
south side of Chicago. Visit our
event calendar
to see when and where the next Friday Lunch
Club meets, everyone is welcome.
An average meal is equal
to 1.3 pounds of
non-parishable food and
the NIFB can stretch $1
into six meals due to
their ability to buy in bulk.
