geocaching

Where do you find out where there are caches at? We used to make these when I was in the army months prior to an actual training mission. If we didn't find them. We didn't eat. Back then the GPS units we had were about the size of a lap top computer and much heavier. It didn't show you were on the map, rather it gave a 10 digit grid coordinate in which you could use your map to find where you were. They were rare in my unit then and I never really had alot of hands on with it and rather had to depend on map and compass skills.

I was amazed when I saw Justin's GPS. It showed trails that weren't even on the map I bought at Smith's. lol. It may be awhile before I buy a GPS but this is definately something I'd like to try.

They have a couple of websites, geocaching.com is the most popular.

I'm going to have to get a GPS. I think I'll start placing some tool and spare parts cache's for motorized seekers neer popular trails. Wouldn't it be cool to need a part and know that one may be at the cache. I think the theme would be to leave a tool or spare and not to take anything unless you absolutely needed to. Eventually (If someone didn't rob it) there could be quite an inventory for the off roading/ geocaching community.

I considered a cache of Birfields, after going to Longfields I had a spare set of course and fine splines laying around. I still have the course birfs and inners. I may cache them on Fordyce. Who knows, maybe I'll need them.

And I agree with you rusty_tlc, Kairo is a young whipper-snapper! Ah...but, even if he isn't "thrilled" with geocaching He's a good kid... just a little mis-directed in his priorities!

He has been exposed to geocaching & that's a good thing!
