In a night of intense politics, let's have a NON-political thread. Are any of you into geolocation? I'm talking about things like the Geoguessr game, in which you need to deduce a location from a google street view drop. It's a lot of fun. I also follow a tiktok channel called Josemonkey who tries to find people who tag him in posts. With the tools we have available to us, geolocation is a blast.

My 13-year-old taught me about it. We have gone hunting for them a couple times. It was fun!
 
I LOVE Josemonkey. I sort of, kind of did play one time but it was before the internet was invented so it was extra challenging. I think we called it stalking back then 😃

I was a huge This Old House fan and this was back in 1998 I drove to Key West and found the house that they were working on. Sadly, Steve and Norm were not there that day.

I am dying to submit a "case" for Josemonkey because I know a great location. It is a gated community so there are no google street views for him to use. I am sure he will find it anyway but it would be fun to see him find me.

I'm going to Poland later in the year and will challenge him to find me there! Shhhhh! I love This Old House. The show is shot in Mass where I live so it's fun driving by the houses when we can find them.

Not exactly the same thing, but I always wanted to try geo-caching. Seemed like it would be a fun low cost activity to do with DH.
I've been Geocaching on my camping trips for several years now and last year finally found my 10,000 cache. I have placed some in the local state parks that I maintain and enjoy the hobby a great deal. I recommend it and keep trying if you don't find one. Sometimes the owner of a cache will move on and stop taking care of it and it will no longer be in place. If you keep trying, or try finding some that have log entries of recently being found you should have good luck.
