Hi everyone,

My DH just showed me a website that he found last night that I thought
you might want to check out. I think it'd be a lot of fun for kids
(and adults) who like to hunt for treasure. :)

The website address is http://www.geocaching.com

This is her DH typing now =)
It's a Global Positioning System (GPS) based scavenger hunt.
People hide "caches" of small items and log the GPS coordinates on the
website. Then Geocachers, as they are called, hunt them down. There is
usually a small paper log book for people to sign to show they were
there. For example there is a small cache hidden somewhere Krispy
Kreme in Fresno consisting of a collection of hat pins. People take a
pin and leave a pin. This looks like alot of fun and could be used as
an educational tool (geography, mapping etc.. but shhh don't tell the
kids that). The GPS units are available at almost any sporting goods
store for under $100. They are not necessary for the hunt but it looks
really hard to do without one. OK back to my wife...

As you can see, my DH now looks for the "educational tool" in
everything that we do now. :) I caught myself wishing that our DD
was old enough to "play." But....who says we can't do it anyway.

Happy hunting,
Melissa
