Geocaching

We went Geocaching the other day for the first time. It was a lot of fun. Basically it is a treasure hunt using your GPS system. People hide things all over the place and then log them into a website, you can look up ones that are near your location, and pick a difficulty and terrain level that suits you - plug in the coordinates and then go hunting. There was one that was 185 feet from our house (as the crow flies). So we headed out on our big "adventure". We ended up not being able to find the treasure, because you can't actually plug in coordinates on our GPS, but we did have a lot of fun looking - and we came away with some pinecones - and we found a tiny one for Noah and told him that was the treasure. He was thrilled. I could see how the whole geocaching thing could be a really fun and free family activity!
