By now you realize that skiing and snowboarding are not the only reasons to take a Breckenridge vacation. There’s the arts, museums, hiking, biking and more.This year, I’ve noticed large groups of people engaged in an activity known as geocaching. According to Wikipedia,

“Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting game in which the participants use a GPS receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called “geocaches” or “caches”) anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and “treasure,” usually toys or trinkets of little value.”

It seems that there are a number of caches throughout Breckenridge. Some people use a combination of geocaching and scavenger hunting. They are using their GPS, but instead of looking for caches, they video people doing silly things.Such was the case with the group I saw yesterday. As I conducted my historic tour through the Town of Breckenridge, I suddenly heard a shout:

“We need six people to do the Funky Chicken!”

A friend of mine was taking the tour. He is known for his on-stage shenanigans at the Breckenridge Theater but his compulsion toward dignity when off-stage. Seeing the video camera, he quickly jumped out of the way. The other members of my tour gave a good-natured shrug and complied with the request. When they finished, the shouter screamed out,

“If you see the other group, tell them that you can’t dance.”

“No problem,” I answered, answered, and continued with my tour. Maybe you had to be there.
