“Accessible Geocaching” A Geocaching.com Lost & Found Video

Kevin Berg, kberg31974, will tell you he’s not the best person to gauge the accessibility of geocaches. Kevin says he often takes his wheelchair where it was never designed to go. The computer consultant has spent most of his life confined to a wheelchair due to the neurological condition Cerebral Palsy. The disorder doesn’t define Kevin. He’s a father, college graduate, entrepreneur and geocacher.

Watch “Accessible Geocaching,” a Geocaching.com Lost & Found video, to experience the joy of inclusive geocaching. Kevin, his wife and other mobility impaired geocachers search for geocaches with a terrain rating of one on a five-star scale.
