Geocaching

[sylvar]

I've begun geocaching, even before my GPSr arrives from Amazon. I found this cache with mapping software (it wasn't hidden and there was very little ground to cover).

There are loads of caches on the USF campus. I'm looking forward to finding them -- this is fun.

Amusing side note: Geocachers call non-geocachers "muggles".

jeff and i are planning on getting a gps as soon as we can complete the research and get the fundage together. what kind do you have and what features do you think are really important? i was going to get jeff one for christmas, but there was no way i could fit it into the allowable budget so we're hunting for one together now.

I don't know about all the options -- I bought Amazon's cheapest.

Geocaching.com has a good <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/about/buying.aspx>GPSr buying guide</a>, though.

thanks! that is cheaper than when i was looking before christmas. we're expecting some bonus money to be coming in, and that just might get added to the list.

I've gone geocaching before--even left a cache. Trying to get Marc into it...
