Now I'm not sure if many or any of you have heard of this but a friend showed me it a few weeks back and it's fun shit.


^ Head over there to check it out.

For those of you who are too lazy I'll sum it up for you.
Geo Caching is a mix between hiking and treasure hunting.

What you need:
- GPS
- Some random trinkets
- What ever else you'd want on a hike.

What to do:
- Go to the site (http://www.geocaching.com )
- Make a FREE account
- Search for a cache in your area
- Get the co-ordinates for the cache
- Go find it!


Heres a video that gives you an idea of what it's all about as well.




If this is a repost or any links/ the video doesn't work, well suck it up.

It's really fun. I started doing it 2 summers a go with some of my friends and I would really recommend a Garmin ExTrex.

It's super popular around here.

3 years ago when I was working on an archaeology site we climbed up this massive hill only to find a geo cache on the top. It was one where you sign your name to the list and the last name before us was in 1994.

It was a very difficult location to get to in the middle of the mojave desert.
