sorta new hobby

A few years ago Jethenro and his sisters became interested in a new hobby called
GEOCACHING 
It is a free real-world outdoor treasure hunt. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using a smartphone or GPS and can then share their experiences online.
(description from the official website)
 But the interest waned when we did not own  a reliable GPS, and could not locate any geocache sites.

Now that he has a reliable GPS, and the interest in searching, he decided to pick up the game again.  

On Thursday he had an appointment to get a blood check, and I  needed to run some errands. He had pinpointed a few places on his gps, and he found all 5 he was looking for.  It is kind of exciting to find one, and see what little treasure there might be in the container, and sign the log book.

  1. Time to plan a trip our direction--there are a million geocaches around here, many placed by Austin!
