We Are Going Treasure Hunting!

>> Friday, March 19, 2010

We have been talking about finding a new hobby for us to do as a family.  Saturday's are our "Family Day".  That is our day to spend time with each other (just the four of us).  Guy and I came up with the idea of going Geocaching.  For those of you not familiar with it - Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache any where in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. The caches usually contain items to trade, a logbook and sometimes a camera so the finder can snap a picture of themselves. Most often, the caches aren't hidden in plain sight. Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the geocache.  Geocaches are literally everywhere around the world.  You will surely find a few within a couple miles of where you live or even withing walking distance.



For those of you who want to try it just go to http://www.geocaching.com/.  It is free with the exception of a little gas, energy & time.
