Geocaching
Anna was here visiting with us on their way through to and from vacation. Oh yeah, and she brought Marcus with her!
While he was here, Marcus introduced me to something called “Geocaching.” Actually, I had heard about it before and even registered at the site, but never really went far beyond that. As someone who LOVES land navigation, I was intrigued with this sport. According to geocaching.com, “Geocaching is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure.”
The “treasure” isn’t really treasure. Usually, it is comprised of little figurines, buttons, pens, and other items. The treasure is in the hunt! So far, I’ve found four of the six points I’ve gone after. I have a handheld GPS unit that is about seven years old and doesn’t do well in forests. Emily allowed me to order a new GPS for Father’s Day and I’m looking forward to looking for more sites as well as hiding a few myself.
If you haven’t heard about this or want to get started, check out www.geocaching.com for more information. It’s a great way to hone your land navigation skills.
