Many times I have blogged about the benefits of adding Geocaching (www.geocaching.com) to your list of RVing activities. Now private RV parks are discovering what you and I already know, that geocaching is good clean fun for the whole family. Leia Simmons, manager of Walker River RV Resort in Smith Valley, Nevada says, ”We let people hide stuff on our property”. The resort includes geocaching as one of the many activities you can enjoy at their park. Campground Owners of New York included geocaching in this year’s promotion efforts. RVers are encouraged to pick up a free “Passport to Fun” at participating campgrounds. Guests find hidden coins at the parks using their GPS receivers and get their passports stamped. Prizes are awarded for those with five stamps or more in their passport. Campers looking for something to do along with hardcore geocachers hail the promotion a great success.
Geocaching can spice up any family RV vacation and soon you may find one in your favorite RV park.
Geocaching just another adventure in RVing!

Dave Helgeson’s many roles in the RV industry started before he even had a driver’s license. His grandparents and father owned an RV dealership before the term “RV” had been coined, and Dave played a pivotal role in nearly every position of an RV dealership. He and his wife Cheri launched their own RV dealership in the Pacific Northwest. The duo also spent 29 years overseeing regional RV shows. Dave has also served as President of a local chapter of the Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), worked on the board of advisors for the RV Technician Program of a local technical college, and served as a board member of the Manufactured Home and RV Association. Dave’s reputation earned him the title of “The foremost expert on boondocking,” bestowed by RV industry icon, the late Gary Bunzer (The RV Doctor). When he’s not out boondocking, you’ll find Dave in the spotlight at RV shows across the country, giving seminars about all things RVing. He and Cheri currently roam in their fifth travel trailer, with Dave doing all the service, repair and modifications to his own unit.
