geocaching

OH OH OH! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! A good friend took us geocaching 1.5 years ago (YES THAT LONG SUZY!LOL) and we really liked it. Tonight DH brought home a handheld GPS unit (not to be confused w/the car units). Plus a dad is going to teach a geocaching unit int he HS coop so I REALLY can't wait! It's a great outdoor activity and I suppose I can just drive offroading in that new fangled vehicle I got vs. walking!ROTFL!

For those who don't know what geocaching is, you use this GPS unit to find specific sited based on longitude and latitude and find 'caches' that are hidden. You can swap trinkets or just trade. I need to get back in the lingo. I know our friends downloaded stuff straight to their GPS. I seriously doubt that I"m that smart!LOL

is very similar and can often be done without the GPS ~ here is a great link ~ lots of these have "clues" that you have to solve in order to find the cache.
