i've heard it mentioned before but never knew what it was so if someone was talking about "geocaching" i would politely smile and nod until the conversation ended or the subject was changed.
i don't know what it was today that made me think of it and type it into the search box on google.com but i am glad that i did. i am also disappointed that i didn't do it sooner...
to those that don't know and haven't gone to google it themselves geocaching is "a high-tech treasure hunting game" where the idea is to "locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors then share your experiences online" (from geocaching.com -- the official geocaching site).
so basically treasure hunt meets hiking meets hide and seek meets social networking, or basically an awesome way to get off ones ass and explore the area around them!
currently there are 1,157,471 active geocaches in the world! and because anyone can create a new cache this number will continue to grow!
so get off your bum and get geocaching -- because that's exactly what i'm going to do and i'll share it all here with you!
