What do knitting, hidden tunnels under Chicago, and 45 states in a year have in common? For Jessie, aka ShortyKnits, they’re all part of her geocaching journey. In today’s episode, we talk about Adventure Labs, caching while parenting, and how geocaching can help you find your community—and your next great adventure.
