Geocaching....Another Fun Thing!

You know how I love a gadget, well, while searching around my new GPS I came across an icon that I did not recognize....Geocaching. I went to the Garmin website and read about it...and man, this is right up my alley....Treasure hunting via the the internet and GPS! Can you believe it?

What you do is go to www.geocaching.com and register (for free) then you put in your zip code (or the zip code where you will be traveling) and a list of "cache" sites will come up near the zip code you entered. you will get the lat/long and some clues and off you go to find the "cache" (treasure)....once you find it you then sign a logbook, take something and leave something....I found out there are several with 1/2 mile to my house!

Since I just found all of this last night at 9pm, I do not have all of the details but if you know me...you know I will have ALL of the details within a very short period of time. You know this might even enable me to get a little bit more exercise! (stay tuned, I am going to find my first cache as soon as it stops raining!).....

PS. I will be posting more entries...thanks for hanging in there for the summer!
