I started my taking a map of Chicago – looking at the tourist sites – and matching those to where Geocaches were – circling the spots that were walkable from my base hotel.

I then went out and had some fun! Here are some of geocaches I found and recommend:

Navy Pier was a fun place to go, a few geocaches in the area in walking distance.

I had a few DNFs (Did Not Find) on the day – so a little sad because I can’t just go back the next day.

GCHG28 – Navy Pier Micro

GCJYAE – Chicago History 102 – Milton’s Last Mission Multi Cache

GC1PPOX – Gate to The Illinois Waterway

Chicago Water Tower

This was in the middle of the shopping district and with the sales on it was hard to keep my attention on either. Went into a store and then went for a geocache….perhaps that is the perfect combination?

I enjoyed the virtual cache which had a bonus webcam geocache!
