Geocaching, No Posts for a Couple Days

I'm leaving for a camping trip this morning, so I won't be posting for a couple days (no wifi in the woods).

If your planning to do the same, you might want to check out a sport that merges technology and the outdoors, geocaching. Geocaching involves people hiding boxes (usually ammo cans) in the woods and posting precise coordinates on geocaching.com. You can then take those coordinates, find the box using a gps and log it, both in the box and on the website. Many of them are quite difficult to find, making it a fun challenge even if you are pretty good with a gps. You might also want to take a compass along, since a gps can't track direction very well unless it is moving fairly quickly. You can find out more on the Geocaching website.

I should be back posting next week, so enjoy your weekend.
