Geocaching
We started geocaching about two years ago. A
friend of ours did a presentation on this hobby and it sounded like lots
of fun. Plus, we were able to include our pooch in this hobby as
well. If you are not familiar with the hobby, you use a hand-held
GPS to find small hidden treasure boxes called "caches". They
could be of varying sizes from a cache the size of a small twig all the
way up to an old army ammo box. The small twig sized caches
normally only contain the log to sign (you usually have to bring your
own pencil for those). But the treasure is being able to find
those "micro" caches. The treasures that are in the larger caches
are usually pencils, stickers, happy meal prizes, pez dispensers, key
chains, small toys. What ever the geocacher decides to put in the
cache. Yes, when you find the cache, you can take a prize, but it
is only fair to leave a prize behind as well for the next geocacher.
This hobby gets you outside and back to nature.

information. Our profile is listed as "lrudzki" if you want to see
the progress we have made.
