Geocaching:The alternative to hiking

from JoeUser Forums
Geocaching is my new hobby and I wanted to see how many of you guys at JoeUser knew what it was. Geocaching is a GPS based game where people hide "treasures" that you must find using the GPS. I once did a cache where I hiked a mile up a mountain and had a breath taking view of the Hudson River. I became very passionate about Geocaching and try to go as often as possible. I even created a webiste for it, www.geo-nut.com. I made the site to introduce newcomers to Geocaching so feel free to check it out! I am open for any comments or suggestion you may have.

I hope to create new Geocachers out of all who read this!

Thanks

I really want to try this but I don't have a GPS yet. I am trying to decide if I should get that for Christmas or my long awaited digital camera. My BF did this a few times with her girls and enjoyed it. I think my boys would like it and honestly I would like to get my oldest interested in something besides nintendo and pokemon. I will check out your site.

I checked out your website. Lots of great info on there. I'm excited now and want to try. I think I will go to Wally World tommorow and see if they have GPS because then I can put it on layaway. I love layaway which is quite off topic here.

Also I wondered if you had ever heard of letter-boxing? It's kind of similiar in the treasure hunting aspect. You use clues instead of GPS and then you have a handcarved stamp that you use to let them know you found it. I haven't tried it yet but I think it sounds like fun too and thought you might be interested in something a little different.
