Geocaching, A Beginning
Friday, July 24, 2009 at 9:06PM Have you heard of Geocaching? If you have a GPS device, you could even participate! According to geocaching.com, geocaching is,
Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.
Sound like fun? I thought so. Last night I found my first Geocache at N 40° 21.338 W 94° 53.816. Do you know where that is? No? Huh… Well, if you’re in Maryville, you probably don’t know you do know where it is! :) After finding my first cache, I rode my bike a while and saw both the water tower on campus draining, and a SKUNK on campus! Pics are on flickr. (Wordpress is still mangling my pics…)

I'm so excited for you with Geocaching! If I had a GPS and a few less years I would be SO into it. I heard about it about a year ago and told Josh. Maybe you guys could do some tracking together. By the way, there are a couple geocaches in a couple parks down here in Raymore...
How about that. I finally got around to reading this post - all this time I thought it said GeoCOACHING. Looks like fun!
