• Jul. 21, 2008 - Geocaching

Posted in Family Life
We took up a new hobby this weekend!  Have you heard of geocaching?  It's a world-wide treasure-hunt that uses GPS and lots of participants.  You get coordinates off of a site and use your GPS to get close to the cache.  Then the real hunt begins.  We searched for four local caches yesterday and found two of them.  There is a log book which you sign in every cache.  Many times, there is a small collection of trinkets.  You take one out and put in a new one.  You can save all the things you collect, or trade them back into another cache.  Within ten miles of us, there are 409 caches registered with the site we are using.  It's a family-friendly free hobby!

We haven't done any geocaching in a long while, but it is something that our family started about 5 or so years ago......it's a lot of fun! It used to be that anytime we were going anywhere out of our area, we would check to see if there were any geocaches close.....only found a few but it surely was fun! We love the high tech treasure hunt!

Hi!
I'm new to your blogs, I came over from Grace4Gayle.
I love your recipe sight! I will definitely be using it. My family lives in NW Arkansas and we love geocaching! We have found a few in our area. One took us to a beautiful spot with a waterfall we did not even know about and it was within 10 miles of our house!
Just thought I'd "introduce myself".

We enjoy this and did a good bit of it before Eliana joined our family. It's a fun activity for the whole family! So glad you are enjoying it.
