Loaʻa ka loaʻaʻana o nā kamaliʻi i waho o ka hale waihona waiwai
E noi aku i kāu mau keiki inā makemake lākou e hele i waho no ka holoʻana, a lohe pahaʻoe i ka manaʻo kū'ē kū'ē iā lākou e hoʻi i ko lākou mau pale. E kono iā lākou ma kahi hoʻolāʻau waiwai hoʻolālā kiʻekiʻe no kahi "geocache," (ka inoa geo-cash) a e hoʻomaka lākou e paipai iāʻoe me nā nīnau i ko lākou kauʻana i ko lākou mau kāmaʻa a me ke poʻo no ka puka.
ʻO ke kēmu hoʻolālā ma waho o ka geocaching e hoʻohui i kaʻenehanaʻenehana me ka hauʻoli o ka loaʻaʻana o ka pahu huna o nā mea hilahilaʻole - no ka mea uaʻikeʻole nā kamaliʻi he mea hikiʻole ke hana. ʻO nā mana hou aʻe o ka pāʻani pūʻia nā puʻupuʻu nui-nui, a me nā mea i hoʻohiwahiwaʻia e like me nā geocoins a me nā pahu hana hele, no laila, he nui nā pahuhopu hou e mālama ai i nā keiki e pili ana i nā puka i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
Ke kuhikuhi wale neiʻo Geocaching i ka loaʻaʻana o nā pahu a hūnā paha e hoʻohana ana i kahi pūnaewele hoʻonohonoho paʻa honua (GPS). Aia ma mua o 627,000 mau'āina geocaches i hūnāʻia ma nā wahi a puni o ka honua, aʻo nā mea hou i ka pāʻani, e kahaha nui lākou i ka nui o nā kiʻi i loko o ko lākou mau māhele iho.
Hiki i ka mālama'āina me nā keiki ke hele mai kahiʻokoʻa maʻalahi e komo ana i kahiʻike maʻalahi, i nā haʻawina nui-haʻawina i kaʻenehana GPS, ka honua, a me ka heluhelu palapala'āina. He nui nā hoʻonaʻauaoʻana i ke kula (ʻaʻole e haʻi aku i nā keiki) a pili pili i ka moʻolelo o ka'āpana'āina a me nā hiʻohiʻona kahua honua. Nui nā huna i hūnāʻia e nā keiki, no nā keiki, eʻoluʻolu ana i kēia mau mea. Heʻoihana hoʻonani maikaʻiʻo Geocaching no ka mea,ʻo ia ka orienteering a me nāʻoihana'ē aʻe. He hana hoʻokipa nui nō hoʻi ia.
He maʻalahi ka hoʻomakaʻana i ke kāhua'āina. Ponoʻoe e kiʻi i ka GPS paʻi kiʻi lima, akā i ka manawa āu i hana ai i kēlā kūʻai, ponoʻole ka pāʻani e pāʻani.
E aʻo i ka hoʻohanaʻana i ka GPS paʻi me kāu mau keiki he wahi ia o ka leʻaleʻa. ʻO kāu hana hou aku eʻike i kāu geocache mua e hele nei i geocaching.com a me ke kākau inoaʻana no kahi pūnaewele kūʻokoʻa. I ka manawa i hoʻopaʻa inoaʻia, hiki iāʻoe keʻimi i nā hūnā ma nāʻano mau mea likeʻole, e like me ke code post and keyword.
ʻO nāʻikepili cache pū kekahi i ka nui o kaʻike, e like me nā kikowaena pololei o ka wahi, ka weheweheʻana o ka peʻe, keʻano o kahi hūnā (ʻoi loa o kahi pahu wai e piha i nā mea), pilikia a me nā papa'āina (hoʻokahi ma waena o nāʻelima, aʻelima mau mea paʻakikī), nā hōʻailona, nā'ōlelo aʻo, a me nā'ōlelo mai ka poʻe iʻike i ka peʻe.
Hiki i nā'ōpiopio ke nānā aku i nā'ōnaewele, i hiki ai iā lākou ke komo i kēlā me kēia o kēia hana. E koho i nā uhi me ka maʻalahi o ka pilikia a me nā kūlana'āina no nā'ōpio. E neʻe i nāʻike kūpono i ka loaʻaʻana iāʻoe a me nā keiki kaʻike.
Hoʻokomo pinepine nā kāpena i nā makana liʻiliʻi a me nā mea pāʻani e pili ana i nā keiki. Ponoʻoe e kau i kahi mea ma kahi hūnā inā hoʻoneʻeʻoe i kekahi mea, no laila e hoʻolālā e lawe mai i kekahi mau mea liʻiliʻi e waiho i kahi peʻe, i hoʻokahi paha no kēlā me kēia keiki. Hiki i nā pahu kiʻi i loko o nā waihona, i hiki ai i nā keiki ke hoʻokomo a komo i nā'ōlelo.
Hiki i nā huakaʻi hele i kāhikoʻia e like me nā geocoins a me nā pahu hana hele e hoʻonui i kahiʻano hoihoi. Loaʻa kēia mau mea i nā helu kūikawā, a nānā pahaʻoe iā lākou ma geocaching.com eʻike ai kahi i kahi. I kēia wā, alakaʻi au i kahi hui o nā keiki i kahi hūnā e komo ana i kahi pahu kaʻa hele mai i Australia a ua hele aku ma waena o Hawaiʻi a me Quebec i Virginia. Hiki ke hoʻololi iā kēia i loko o kahi haʻawina papa honua, e like me ka nānāʻana o nā keiki i nā hanana o nā kaʻa hele ma ka palapala'āina. ʻO ka pae honua kiʻekiʻe heʻenehana-nui e loaʻa ai nā hōʻailona e alakaʻi ana i kahi cache.
ʻAʻole iʻaneʻane kahi maikaʻi o ka Geocaching i nā keiki aʻu i hoʻolauna aku ai, a he mea maikaʻi loa ia e kiʻi ai i nā keiki mai ka puka a ma ke alanui.
