You don’t need an app to get outside! Have you seen the view? That alone is worth a trip away from the couch.

I’m not against the game, but I have witnessed so many unsafe situations. People NEED to have situational awareness, whether it’s when hiking, geocaching, letterboxing, or walking home from the park or to their cars in the parking lot. They need to have this awareness ESPECIALLY when interacting with their phones.

So, get outside! (Duh! Have you seen it out there? It’s amazing!) Play with your friends! (with or without an app!) Just please look up every now and then. 😉
