so i have recently been introduced to the wide world of geo caching in the last month and i have thoroughly enjoyed it... aside from the massive amounts of cheat grass i acquire in my hiking boots! how did i come to learn and experience this fine activity you might ask? thanks to one Beth Van Vliet, i have been introduced to being a modern day treasure hunter.
geo caching is a form of glorified treasure hunting, without actual treasure but trinkets found in a water proof box hidden in the wilderness. these "treasure chests" are found using GPS coordinates and a keen eye for hidden objects. it is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy the summer weather as well as involve anyone you know in the adventure of the search for "booty!" many caches that are found encourage you to take a trinket and leave something new, along with leaving an entry of your experience. many caches are also located fairly close to others and so you can find more than one a day and get a good amount of exploration done at the same time. it is quite rewarding and provokes you with a desire to create your own geo cache for others to find and enjoy. there is a geo caching website you can go to, to find geo caches in your area as well. go to www.geocaching.com for more info! best of luck in your future treasure hunting adventures!!!
