Geocaching!!

Do ever want to do something fun with the family and can't come up with a thing to do? Well I have found it out ha ha! It is called Geocaching!! All you need is a vehicle, a GPS, gas, time and most importantly those you want to take treasure hunting. Geocaching which is pronounced "Geo-cashing" is an electronic way of treasure hunting. Someone hides a geocache and pin points the location in the system through GPS and you can go find it :) Here are the steps to follow to be able to participate in this nationwide fun activity!! You can go to www.geocaching.com and register for a free basic membership. After that you give them your zip code or the zip code you would like to go searching in. It will then give you a list of geocaches and you can decide which one you want and click on it. You then type in the coordinates of the geocache into your GPS and use your GPS to help you locate your geocache. Once you get there and find it you will sign the logbook of the geocache and put it back. Then you can share your geocaching stories and photos online with others to see.

I do not have a GPS system but I will be saving up for one as soon as I can and take my son on these little journeys! Go have fun trying it out and don't forget to come back and let me know how it went and what you thought about it :) Good Luck!!
