This cache is part of the Northern Virginia Geocaching Organization's '25 Fall Series, Our Favorite Things. The goal of the series is to get to know some of our geocaching friends a little better by finding caches that showcase their favorite things—aside from geocaching, of course.
Feel free to find as many caches in the series as you'd like, and don't forget to enter 10 of the code words to help you discover the coordinates for the bonus cache. Enjoy the adventure!
Welcome to the NoVAGO '25 OFTs BONUS
GEOCACHERS
To obtain the coordinates for this cache you will need to correclty enter, in the checker below, at least 10 of the code words found at the 25 participating geocaches. Finding 10 should be EZPZ, but I recommend that you find all of them as soon as you can!
Each participating cache will be special to the hider. We all love geocaching but we all have other things we love too. These caches are Our Favorite Things! Get to know the hiders a little better by finding their Favorite Thing cache.
About this cache.
BYOP - What you see in the container is attached.
If you were a fish 🐟, you would be swimming happily in the water here at the posted coordinates. This could be one of your favorite things to do. But you are not a fish. You are a geocacher, and although swimming 🏊♀️ could be one of your favorite things to do, the park would not like you do do that here. So you will not need to swim to find the BONUS cache since it's not at this location.
If you were a fish you could see a lot of people on a dock with fishing rods, fishing 🎣. You and your fish friends would think this is not one of your favorite things to do. Since you are a geocacher, fishing could be one of your favorite things to do, the fish may not like that though. Even though it's catch and release, they probubly would rather stay in the water 💦. Now here you could could go fishing but, this is not what you have set out to do today.
If you have been keeping track of the bonus words, you can enter them below. If being organized 📂 is one of your favorite things to do, you probubly had no issue keeping those code words safe. If you are care free and goofing off 
is your favorite thing, maybe you lost 🤔 a code word or two. Hopefully not but maybe you find those missing words or find a couple more caches to fill the requirement.
Do you like the checker 🫶? This was custom made by a geocaching friend. See how geocachers are friendy and help each other out. Maybe someone helped you find one of the caches during your adventures. You could be kind and share 🥰 the act by responding to someone elses PAF request. If you got the checker right, key them in the official geocaching checker to add them to the cache page. Then you can drive 🚙 or hike 🚶➡️ to the updated coordinates.
Do you like to drive, or maybe hike? That could be one of your favorite things to do. As a geocacher there is a LOT of driving and hiking involved. So if you are new to caching, know that you will come to enjoy both of those if you don't already. Quite possibly, you might only enjoy them since you know they will get you to a geocache.
Are you social and have lots of geocaching friends? 🙋🏻♂️
Or are you a loner and enjoy the solitude of geocaching to bring you inner peace? ☮️
Maybe you like the urban caches that are in plain sight 👀, or maybe the ones you where you are sneaky out of sight😶🌫️.
Would you rather take a long hike in the woods🏕️, or jump right out of the car for one hidden close by🪨?
Would you, could you, like a boat 🛶? Shall you should you take a float?
Or is dry land your plan?
When you read a cache page, do you like the ones with a lot of information, or a puzzle 🧩, or a story📘.. how about complete nonsense💭. Or do you prefer one with hardly any information at all 🫥.
While there are so many types of people, place and geocaches, if you go for the EZPZ or EXTRA difficult..... We all have this one thing in common. Geocaching. We are all Geocachers.
See if you can find the geocache too, not just the log you will sign, that will be pretty easy, but if you look a little more and there's just enough light, you might see another geocache, hiding somewhere within. Who will be the first to find it!
While geocching is a favorite and indeed YOU are also a favorite, there are a lot of other favorite things out there like Astronomy/Space, Baseball, Bats, Boardgames, Cricket, Dogs, Electric Longboarding, Gadgets of Any Type, Geometry Dash, Jeeps, Jet Skiing, Mah Jongg, Math, Metal Detecting, Moss & Meat Sticks, Movies, Music, Octopi, Photography, Puzzles and Games, Reading, Star Wars, Sudoku, Trains.. the list just goes on and on.
Do you have another favorite thing? Just for fun, post it in your log.
ENJOY the Adventure!
A big shout out to all our geocaching friends who participated in hiding a geocache for this series. We couldn't have done it without you. These are all your geocaching friends who made this series happen, together we make this game, hobby, obsession... wonderful!
