Geocaching?

My sister Kristen recently visited Wisconsin. She and her fiance shared a nice vacation there with his family. She posted photos on her Facebook site (cool place once you can get in) and let me tell you, I was feeling pretty stupid when I came across photos about their Geocaching adventure.

My first thought was hmm...they are playing with GPS? Since her fiance was holding a GPS device in one of his hands...so I guess my first instinct was so far off from the truth.

Folks, there another world out there. It's an high tech treasure hunt and boy I think I have found a new obsession. (And I don't even have GPS....YET!)

Utilizing GPS and given coordinates you locate hidden treasures, sometimes just a log book but basically if you take something you leave something. But you have to be able to use GPS and your brains to locate it.

Oh boy....I so want to play this game...I am thinking I can do a scrapbooking geocache...or hmm...a cystic fibrosis awareness cache...or hmm...just a cache to have a darn cache...

I can't wait to find out more about this so I can get involved!!
