Geocaching

[Natasha]

Anybody here do it??? I just got a GPS (yay me!!!) and was curious about it. Seems like an interesting way to get out of the house.

If you don't know what it is, try Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site

Yeah, I have found two in Utah. One down in Moab and the other in a national park in a tree.

I put a condom in one and an action figure in the other.

We didn't even use GPSes to find them. Infact we didn't even know they existed till me and my friends found one playing freeze tag in the National Park.

The one in Moab was on in a small crevice mid climb on ice cream parlor rock wall.

I got curious so I looked for ones around here and most of them were place in 2006 or longer ago. And one of them is placed in a park that you wouldn't get me to visit w/o police presence!!! LOL!!! No, seriously, a guy was murdered there a few years ago.

I've heard about this before and it definitely seems like something interesting to do when ya want to get out.

What GPS ya got?

Well, I just wanted a simple starter GPS, so I went w/ the TomTom ONE. I had considered a Garmin, but I'm still butt hurt that Jersey's Garmin told me to go jump in a lake.

My partner at work has been telling me about her sister being involved in it. I had never heard of it until then. Oddly enough, she had never heard of it until her sister brought it up...and then CSI or SVU had an episode where a chick got murdered while she was out Geocaching.

sounds like fun...must see if my dad still has his laying about somewhere.

I know this is an old thread...but can I just say that I am officially a geocaching addict. Seriously, me and a few co-workers have our own "team" and we go out quite a bit. We've been going out after we get off work, at 0530 hrs, and grabbing anywhere from 3 - 7 caches in a 1 1/2 - 2 hour period.

Oooh ooh, and I logged my 50th find today!!!
