GeoCaching

I've been interested in this hobby for some time. A few years ago I tried Letterboxing for a little while, but didn't really stay with it. The kicker for geocaching though is that there's a great App on the iPhone for it that puts everything you need in your pocket. If you haven't heard of GeoCaching this little video can explain it much better than me...



Kai and Shen really like the idea of finding hidden "treasure" and I like the motivation to get out and muck about in the woods. Though we've only been doing this for a few days now and we're hitting about .500.
We've looked for about 8 caches and have found 4. The amazing thing is that there are over a million of these little treasure boxes out there, and plenty of them right around our neighborhood. We made a quick little visit down to my sister's on Sunday and I persuaded my 15 year old nephew and his buddy to join us on a quick hunt at a couple parks near their home, very fun exploring through the woods with a troop of boys!
