I was talking to a guy at work about geocaching, basicly it's a treasure hunt using your GPS, i have been looking into it and it looks to be somthing i wouldn't mind doing. it's free, gets you outside and and the excitement of the hunt!!! i have been looking into geocaching apps for my phone as the gps that came with it doesn't give you your lat/lon.

Just thought i'd share and see if anyone does it

i remember doing something like that years ago, back when the GPS required to do the real geocashing cost like $600+. you got clues off the internet on where to go, then usually it was a tupperware box with the next place to go look for another box, along with a list of names of people who had already found it. eventually you get far enough to where you add your own box as the next in line with a clue to its location. it was pretty cool to do, i remember bushkill falls had a ton of them hidden around and we found all of em, some were in pretty crazy spots too. ( management had no idea about them, lol) i think it kinda fell to the wayside of geocaching though...
