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.

In this episode of Cache Like A Girl, Lookout Lisa chats with Jessie, aka ShortyKnits, a geocacher, podcaster, and knitter from Chicago who has turned geocaching into a lifestyle of adventure and community. From starting out caching with her young son to completing 45 states in a single year, Jessie shares how geocaching has taken her to hidden places (like the tunnels under Chicago) and brought her closer to others along the way.
