What is geocaching, anyway??

(I stole this from Wiki)

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value. Today, well over 800,000 geocaches are registered on various websites devoted to the pastime. Geocaches are currently placed in over 100 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica.

For my kids it is just a fun thing we do on weekends and when the mood strikes!

Hi! I recognized the name from Geocaching and had to say Hello! I was just playing on the e-blogger site after posting on my own (private) blog. I was thinking of making one similar to this, with all my cache photos and stories.
See Ya around...
