Geocaching!!

So we started a new family hobby, it called Geocaching! man is it fun! for those of you who do not know what geocaching is it is basically hiking and treasure hunting at the same time.

what you do is get on the website geocaching.com find a cache close to you put the lat and long into your gps and go hunt for it when you find it there is a log in it so you can log that you were there then you take a little trinket that someone left and you leave one as well.

it is so fun getting outdoors as a family with a mission. there are over 800 within 5 miles of my house.

the first one we found was trolls love pretty little stones and it was under a bridge (a walking bridge) ssssoooo ffffuuuunnnn!!!!!!

I am so glad that we decided to get into this because all you need is a GPS it is free to go and find these caches and today we love free.

I first heard about this last year from a friend and it does sound like a lot of fun for folks.
Treasure hunts are the best, plus you get exercise. Can't beat that!

Hmmm I wonder if using a map will work too for those who don't have a GPS....

Have a good weekend!
