Geocaching - Custer, South Dakota
Today, John and Terri took us out for our first geocaching hunt. Geocaching is a treasure hunting game played with a GPS device. Using the GPS, you try to find hidden containers (caches), placed by other geocachers, then record your "finds" online. The caches are usually in a watertight plastic container or ammo box. Most caches contain "trinkets" that you can exchange for something you brought (we didn't) and a logbook for recording your find. We found four caches today. One was very easy (about 50' from a main road) and another required a 1/2 mile walk to locate. We tried using our GPS from the Jeep, but it is not as accurate as John & Terri's handheld model. We really enjoyed this new hobby and plan to do more while we are here.
Here we are posing after one of our finds.
