Treasure hunting seems like something you give up on at about the same time you let go of your imaginary friend, but geocaching is an outdoor game that lets us adults back in on the fun. It's sounds pretty simple, which is oftentimes the key to a good time {ahem, cornhole anyone?} Basically you use a GPS system to help you hide or seek "caches," usually a small waterproof container holding a logbook and a "treasure" of some sort. The hider puts the cache's coordinates online for others to find, and all the seeker is asked to do is leave another prize behind of similar or higher value for the next person to find. Caches can be hidden anywhere and have been known to have been stashed on the side of rocky cliffs and even underwater- part of the fun! Treasures can be anything from money, to a book, jewelry, antiques, maps, cds, pictures, tools, a game, etc. Geocaching sounds like it could be very entertaining, a good way to get out and about, and I imagine has developed quite a community about it. I want to try!
