Oh, this could be a sweeeeet new hobby!

GeoCaching. This looks so super fun. Anybody know anyone doing this? I so wanna buy a GPS and start! Doing it around Austin, would be a fun start, but when we go on our honeymoon, and go down to Buenos Aires etc. We'll be able to do this too and find some great stuff! it's in over 200 countries now! supa kool!

Who wants to start with me!?

What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.

The main site... GeoCaching.com

Other Geocaching sites I'm investigating:

Wow, that looks fun, Delagroovio. Count me in.

I see future caches on the greenbelt, Wild Basin Preserve, behind Guero's, at the park . . . next question where to get cheap GPS's? Ebay? Craig's list?
