Geocaching

Over Christmas break, our friends turned us on to this fun hobby/obsession- geocaching.
From the site description: "Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment." Our first geocache was found in the base of a hollow tree off a path in the woods. We were amazed to then find out that there were at least 120 geocaches within a 5 mile radius of our house! It really changes the way you look at the world. Jack is constantly finding places that would "be great for hiding a cache." The children and I have logged in over 30 finds, including helping a travel bug find its way towards California. Some of the neatest caches we have found were in Atlanta when we were visiting Jon- it was a great way to introduce him to our new hobby.
