Well, I did it, created the first stash hunt stash and here are
the coordinates:
N 45 17.460
W122 24.800
Lots of goodies for the finders. Look for a black plastic bucket
buried most of the way in the ground. Take some stuff, leave
some stuff! Record it all in the log book. Have Fun!
Stash contians: Delorme Topo USA software, videos, books, food,
money, and a slingshot!

Hmm, perhaps the aeroplane ruins your natural jumping skills.
Bicycles, motorbikes, and, even worse, cars ruin your running
skills.
Books, not to mention computers, and particularly things like
Wikipedia ruin your memory skills.
Do forks and knives or chop sticks ruin your eating skills?
Looking back to stone age, even the first weapons ever invented,
like stones, clubs, hand-axes, spears, bows and arrows ruined
our forebears' hand-fighting skills. (Nowadays some people even
have guns.)
Glasses ruin your seeing skills. (Oops, that may actually be
true sometimes. :-)
Please add more examples, everyone! It's fun.

While in Mongolia, I told my driver that I wanted to visit a confluence.
He had no maps, but he did call it a "map cross".
Later, while driving on a plateau, he said we were getting close, as he looked at the mountains on all sides of us.
Navigation by mountain ridges. No compass, no maps. No roads.

You're an idiot on most NG's, and staying true to form.
As a matter of fact I don't jump out of perfectly functioning airplanes
and I'm quite skilled at navigating them with compass, map and watch.
For that matter I used to teach those skills.

I admit, for me it's easy to say these things. I have crossed

the old methods and discounting the new ones is not optimal.

To think that geo-caching is of any value to anyone is an absolute
farce. Well I suppose it gets lazy minded people off their butts
looking for a bucket in the woods. There's that.

Geo-caching is a game. Why should geocaching have less value
than any other game?

Because it is systematic littering?
I.e. pretty much all geocaches are physical, which means that somebody
have hidden a box, typically plastic, at the site.

Go Orienteering. Better for both mind and body.

Indeed.
Orienteering was the only sport that never had to close down completely
this spring, in fact we had a huge growth in recreational orienteers ("Tur-orientering") this spring/summer.
Individual orienteering is of course the "most socially distanced" sport ever, it even says so in the rule book, i.e. you cannot follow anyone
else within sight distance. :-)

It's open here but I haven't gone. Too many restrictions (need to
reserve for a particular 30 minute slot), no electronic tags at
checkpoints (no idea why), so it's honor system and/or record your track.

Hard to avoid following someone on a trail who is slower than you are - you'll be following for some portion of time ...

The first race I organized back in April used no punching, just flags
(which you should pass very close to without touching), and then the
results were based on either personally reported times ("honor system"),
or for most of the participants, by uploading their track log to
LiveLox: https://www.livelox.com/Events/Show/47104/OBIK-P1
People were allowed to start at any time within a 2-week period, so very rarely more than one or two runners in the forest at the same time.
Passing people is of course OK. :-)

In Norwegian terrain you would spend very little time running on paths anyway, and different courses would share zero to very few legs.
