I went Geocaching for the first time today! It was so much fun. Kevin and I found two and looked for a third, but couldn't find that one. I think we will do this more often, it's great exercise! we road around campus on our bikes looking for them all afternoon.
Geocaching is a newer sort of "treasure hunt". A person hides an object, like a small plastic prescription bottle with a piece of paper in it. That person goes to www.geocaching.com and posts the coordinates of where the object is hidden. Then another person puts the coordinates into a GPS or their smart phone and looks for the object. Once that person finds it, they sign there username on the piece of paper inside the object.
The objects are rated on the geocache website by 1 to 5 on the objects size and the difficulty of the terrain. 1/1 is a large object on flat or easy terrain and 5/5 is a micro object on mountainous terrain.
Geocashing has become very popular and there are millions of objects hidden everywhere. They can be located right outside in your neighborhood or all the way in Antarctica. Not kidding.
