Geocaching – let the games begin!

Something that has interested my mind for a while, it's geocaching. For those who have heard about it, you know the basics I'm sure, if not here you go:

Geocaching, as basic as I can explain it, is finding a "cache" hidden by other users, they often include a log book, and some goodies that you can take (and leave your own goody for the next hunter!), or just sign the log-book and take nothing-leave nothing (TNLN - your first geocaching lingo!). You the hunter, find this cache with a set of coordinates of latitude and longitude, and maybe a hint of what its hidden near or in.

You can geocache on everything from your smartphone, to your vehicle GPS (not built in units, as you'll likely have to walk or hike a bit to your cache), or more advanced units for mapping. The more basic the unit, the harder (but funner) the hunt will be.

This past weekend, I went out and did some more hunts, we were successful in finding three of the four we went to find. I'm sure Ill be back some day to find that number four :) .
