Today's adventures...




Today me, Kevin, Tanner and Jax went geo caching! What is geo caching you ask? Exactly b/c I did not know this existed either!! Here's basically what it is:

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.

Here's what I didn't like: I don't know ANYTHING about gps (global positioning system) or have any sense of direction (which way is north?), so I was lost the whole time!!! Tanner & Kevin were loving it and all pumped up, while Jax & I were basically wondering around like dumb and dumber! LOL!

Here's what I did like: I love the outdoors, and it was a gorgeous day! I love being out in the woods & exploring! And, I like doing things that you can just take the dog along!
