"Geocaching email this discussion to a friend?

In the Summer and Autumn months a friend of mine and I enjoy going on long hikes through the woods around this area. Everytime we hike me always make jokes that we would love to find a hidden treasure.... I recently found geocaching! Teams of hikers, search for treasure (barried by other teams) through the woods using handheld GPS devices!! You hide one....you find one! It sounds awesome and I know I will be checking it out this summer!!

While you are hiking in the woods you bury a cashe (a capsul with something inside. You can leave whatever you want). And then u can use a handheld GPS system to search for a cashe that someone else has burried!! It's great!

I'm into geocaching and I love it! I found out about it last summer through a friend. I haven't found all that many though. At the moment I've only found six caches around my area. Someone posted in my topic about geocaching saying they started caching after I did and they have so many more finds than I do. But the thing is that I don't get to do it that often though.

Geocaching is awesome! Google maps is another great resource to use if you don't have a GPS. Although it's a lot more time consuming, it gets the job done and allows me to find caches with decent accuracy and efficiency.

Since this post was put up five months ago, did you ever go? How was your first experience Geocaching?

I have a co-worker who does this a lot and seems to enjoy it. I have thought about doing it,but never have. I would like to go sometime and see if I would enjoy it or not. How do you get started into doing geocaching?
