One of my goals for the summer is to try geo-caching. It sounds fun --- we’ll get outdoors, get some exercise – the dog can go with us – and best of all, its free.
Geo-caching is a sort of “sport”. Its like an outdoor treasure hunt. People set up “caches” --- small weather-proof containers with a log and sometimes a “treasure” in them. Participants (that would be ME) use GPS to try to locate the containers. When you find one, you add your name and information to the log – and get the thrill of finding a treasure. Best of all (for me) it works with the IPhone because its GPS enabled. No equipment to purchase.
I went to www.geocaching.com to get some information. I set up a free account (just needed an email address basically) and started looking at possible caches to find. There were about 25 within 5 miles of my house!! Including along some of our favorite hiking trails. We can’t wait to get started.
