Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.
We went out on Father's Day afternoon even though it was very, very, very warm and searched for a geocache in the local park. Maddie found it after a short search in the woods. Geocaches very often are found in small boxes. Inside you will find a logbook to log your entry that you were there and also small treasures that other's have left behind. The idea is that you leave something and then take something. We brought a small plastic frog to leave and took a key with us. I had to admit to Bud that I really didn't think it would be that fun but it was!. It is also a great way to get the girls to follow directions. I am thankful that they have a Dad who believes in teaching them all sorts of useful life skills.
