Geocaching




 
   Have you seen this man?  He appears to be searching for something....  Perhaps he lost his keys or a contact lens?  If he's not careful a police man may start to get suspicious...  Actually, this is my husband and he is looking high and low for a geocache.  Have you heard of this new hobby?  Using a GPS unit you plug in coordinates to help you find a "cache".  Sometimes you just sign your name and other times you get a small prize....



   I think he found it!  Actually, he has hidden quite a few himself and found over 500 caches!!


   This is called a "micro cache".


   Now he is signing his name and we can move on to the next one!  Many are hidden in the forest and a few can even be found in the mall!  Perhaps you might like to try it.:-)

  1. Hey Lori,
    Tim and I looked for a geocache up in the mountains where him and Timmy are going tomorrow...Nothing. Nada. Zip. But it is a ten mile hike in and it's very secluded so this doesn't shock me. We really need to read up on this more so that Tim could leave a "cache" up there for somebody to find..!
    It looks like a lot of fun!
