Random Chat / Geocaching
« on: January 12, 2009, 09:12:33 PM »
So I started geocaching within the past few days. I remember distinctly a thread on a0 about it, which is where I first learned about it, and forgot about it, until my mom brought up the fact that her sister got her grandkids GPSes for geocaching, and my mom told me it sounded cool and we should try it. i was like damn, mom, when did you get so cool.
i made my first find yesterday. it was really easy but still satisfying. tried to locate another cache today but failed miserably. i knew the general location but i looked EVERYWHERE for the thing and after a half hour it started getting dark and i gave up. i'll try again tomorrow on the way to another cache and volunteering at the library.

basically it's a global treasure hunt. you get ridiculously precise coordinates and you go around trying to find things other people have hidden, and vice versa.
