What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.

Your best bet is to not bring the wife along until you're pretty good at it, cos if you wind up among a whole lot of 8 foot tall plants and stalks and such and you're not faring well with finding the cache and it starts pouring and she just says screw it and runs through said greenery all the way to the Forester, it's not much fun and she probably won't talk to you for a while or want to go caching again anytime soon.

Er, I have no idea how I know this.

It is really neat, though.

this is actually one of the things I wanted to do for the 15th anni meet that never happened... I was thinking it would be cool to have a list and to handle it scavenger hunt style... ending with a pic capturing your team on a web cam at a school which posts to the net. I had a few extra GPS units to pass out even.

but yeah, never happened

Nothing new under the sun - just a high-tech version of the game Letterboxing, that originated in the 1850s. See Wikipedia.

Ho ho ho, abso-efing brilliant.

So, did the 8ft Triffid plants affect your memory badly, but your wife remembers every sorry second of it? And won't let you forget??



This is very similar to how my wife views Japanese car shows. Boring. Squared.
