Photo Hunters Theme: Hobby

Geocaching!


















These pictures are of my parents engaging in what has become a new family hobby: geocaching! Just after the second picture was taken, my dad found the cache hidden behind a metal pole. I had already seen it, but was pretending I hadn't so that my mom could find it. Alas, she still didn't, because my dad beat her to the punch! Oh well...

If you want to learn more about geocaching, go to www.geocaching.com and read their beginner's guide. It's a great way to get out into nature and a fun way to spend time with family and/or friends!

  13. I've never heard of this before reading your blog!
    You were sweet to leave it for your Mom to find, even if your Dad did beat her to it!

    Geocaching! I remember I was in California in a park, and I saw this guy walk up behind the bushes to a ventilation shaft for a nearby building...and pull out a small box with a long list of names on the inside. When I went up and talked with him, he said he was geocaching. Sounds interesting!

    I'm not sure if it's possible to do it without a GPS device, though, and I'm kind of a poor college student...maybe. I could give it a shot once or twice.

    Good hobby!
