Mostly I go alone but I often take my oldest daughter and sometimes more. It always depends on the situation and what sort of cache it is. Often we organise an expedition for a larger group and head of with 5 or more of us including a bunch of kids.

My wife is my main caching partner, but I seem to spent an inordinate amount of time with a vegetable, frog, a power outlet, a redhead and whatishisname.......

Mainly whoever is available when I am available to cache..which is not as often as I like it to be.....

I do go out alone caching about 25% of the time too.....

Like my reptillian friend above, I have been known to cache with others. I sometimes even get to go with my caching partner-in-crime Captain Chaos. Mostly though I cache alone...

I usually have at least one semi-regular friend along. I've had a couple of others rarely and I've also intro'ed people to Geocaching.

I try and make it a family event (wife + 3 children) where it is appropriate. However if the cache is located in a popular muggles location or if its a new cache (and I want to beat Team Astro to it), then I'll do it at night &/or by myself.

Monique & I try to get out caching together as often as we can, but not as often as I'd like too. :?

Also like to team up with friends now & then and enjoy a spot of night caching, although Monique doesn't care for that very much ... too dark & spooky! :twisted:

It varies in our house. If work commitments are not an issue you can have 5 including the Geo Pup.

Today as Andre (alias Victor) was on holidays he was on his lonesome and the rest of us were jealous and miserable and went to work.

If all are free all go - the more the merrier.

If friends or family are around and we have planned to cache then they have to come to as the cache comes first............maybe second.......no first! :D :P

Nearly always on my own, but I have enjoyed those occasions when others have joined, the extra eyes certainly make it easier.

All of the above, although I usually go with either Kate or my father. Geocaching is one thing we can do without fighting (only if I navigate). :wink:
