I must be behind the times-- this is the first I'm hearing about <a href="http://www.geocaching.com" rel="nofollow">geocaching</a>-- always open to learning something new! Sounds a bit like a scavenger hunt-- which is in my tips for tomorrow-- but definitely more updated! <strong>For those of you who are also in the </strong>dark: <em>Geocaching</em> (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS unit can then try to locate the geocache. Dr. Robyn Thanks, Vicki! I must be behind the times– this is the first I’m hearing about geocaching– always open to learning something new!

Geocaching takes an initial investment of a GPS receiver, but if people don't want to make that investment they can do letterboxing--geocaching's older and cheaper counterpart.
