We've tried geocaching but found we prefer letterboxing for the stamps - be
they hand carved or store bought. The only time we've ever found a box and
been disappointed was just recently when the stamp itself had gone missing
from the box. Otherwise, a stamp is a stamp - we're out there to see trails
or architecture we've never noticed and to find the box.
As for hybrids, we had a very nice person tie in her geocache to a series of
boxes we planted. I don't know if they are still tied together but we have
left her clues in the boxes, just changing out our log books when needed.
Never once had a problem with the geo folks.

I've said it before, I'll say it again - one of the most fun boxes
we ever tried - we didn't even find the box! But we did find where
it was supposed to be, and what we got was a pleasant walk in the
woods that wound up at a fishing poind with a waterfall that was way
peaceful! Never would have found it or gone there without the
boxing clues. It's all in the surprise and adventure, people! The
stamps are just part of it, IMHO!
