Geocaching

I have found a sport, and it is Geocaching. In short, hiking for technology geeks.

I wrote about it when I first heard of it, but it took me some time to actually go out and give it a try. Now, it's a real interest. I like it when I find something I think will be fun, and it turns out to be as cool I thought.

I'm so into it, I bought the t-shirt.

One nice thing about geocaching is that you can use it as an excuse to own a GPS receiver. These are good for look at instead of watching the road while driving. Not a recommended use, of course.

We're really fortunate, as it turns out, because there are several geocaches within 20 miles of our house.
