Please don't block off anyones driveway if you park along the side of the road, go in the neighbours yard, step in nans flower beds, or touch the real birdhouses (feel free to take pictures of you want). The cache looks like a small bird house but instead of a hole you'll find a twist top container, bring your own writing tool.
TLDR: The cache is placed as a park and grab in my grandparents frontyard. Geocaching has become a staple for family trips in the last two years and my pop has helped me find over half of my caches to date. He's also does woodworking for a hobby (he doesn't sell anything so please don't ask) and makes bird houses in all different shapes and sizes, so naturally when I got a birdhouse shaped geocache container for Christmas the first thing I asked was could I put it in the yard close to the road so people can admire his birdhouses and nans flowers in the summer, much like a cache we did last year that brought us to a beautiful house with scenery painted on it. He loves talking about stories of the caches we found together, so even if it seems like muggles around the picnic table in the front yard still feel free to look around and introduce yourself.
If you're caching in the Southwestern Newfoundland area you've probably noticed that unlike in large centres here caches are pretty spread out. When I learned about geocaching in 2015 I found some in Isle aux Morts but lost interest pretty quickly. In 2021 I discovered Adventure Labs and thought it would be a neat way to explore the city I was moving to for university. And when I noticed some labs had bonus caches I decided it was time to try out traditional geocaching again. We did a little family trip and I planned out a few adventure labs and caches to do along the way to break up the drive a bit. Any time a cache needed more searching then a park and grab, he was out helping me look, and he ended up having just as much fun, if not more, than I was having when we were out caching. And when I was creating an adventure lab and my first cache was a bonus for the lab he helped me drive around, get pictures and pick out the best spots to showcase communities in the area, and maintains the cache while I'm away at university.
At the time of publication I've logged 252 caches (122 physical, and 130 adventure lab) and have found ones in all the Atlantic Canadian provinces plus Ontario. Over half of the geocaches I've found have been with his help, whether it's stopping while we're driving in a new area so I can grab a cache or info off a sign for an adventure lab, reaching caches I'm too short for or joining me on more difficult terrain to make sure if I get stuck I have help, wandering around cities to see how many we can find in a day (our record is 22), or helping solve mystery cache puzzles. He loves talking about ones we've found and tricks we've picked up for finding them, coassionally I need to remind him not to tell muggles what we're doing or ask them to help us search because they're yet to discover the wonderful world of geocaching. Fell free to introduce yourself if you there's people at the picnic table or chairs the front yard. They're not muggles and know we love to cache.
