GeoSWAG Is NOT
Just For Kids!
Sure, the kids LOVE to trade toys and fun stuff in
geocaches but geoswag is for us adults who know how to have fun too!
Since
the beginning of geocaching, we have come a long way. Companies are
even seeing the benefits of releasing swag out into the world.
One
of the most famous is Jeep. They started a contest by putting tiny toy
Jeeps into geocaches. They each had their own special code. When you
found one of these, you would not only log it with your geocaching club
but also online with Jeep. They held drawings from the names of the
finders to give away actual Jeeps. How's that for a grown-up toy!
Geocoins
are another way many people enjoy the trading aspect of treasure
hunting. These range from ordinary to rare and elegant. You can even
design your own!
S.W.A.G.
can still be a lot of fun. Take the time to pick out some neat stuff
and others will too.
Travelbugs
are also pretty cool geoswag. They have tags to keep track of
them. You
don't get to keep these though! I accidentally kept one for months once
and felt really bad when its parents had to ask me for it back.
