Geocaching...who does it?

Well...now that football season is over it is time to get out of the house. My hubby bought a new GPS unit about 4 weeks ago and he discovered a site called

geocaching.com.

It is too cool.

What people do is create cool treasures for you to go find, they post the coordinates on the site and you go find it with your GPS. You can find caches in your area and when you find them you sign the log then go to the site and tell about your treasuring hunting experience.

I have found a new hobby. It's a fun thing to do on a Sunday afternoon. Me. my hubby and son just leave the house and take off. We have found about half of the ones in our neighborhood. You need to check out the site. People have REALLY gotten into this. You can buy Travel Bugs and it is a "dog tag" which is numbered. You can track it's journey though the country.

I can go on all day about this hobby, but I won't...just check it out.

Figured I bring up an old post. I just started doing this with my droid phone. pretty cool. Only thing that sucks is living in a metro area, I have to drive 45 mins one way to find some trails. There plenty of hidden stuff here but who wants to go to a mall parking lot to find an item.
