We sought and found 2 geocaches today, both walking distance from our house. These were our first geocaches in Alaska! For those who are unfamiliar with geocaching, it is basically a treasure hunt. Coordinates can be obtained from the official geocaching website which are then plugged into a GPS device. Geocaches take you to places that you may never go to otherwise. Our second geocache took us to a wooded area with a old Oldsmobile car, which appeared to have been sitting there for many years.
Very Cool! I am looking into Geocaching, what type of GPS do you guys have? E-mail any advice my way when you get a chance! Love all the pictures :)

Kait,
ReplyDeleteWe have a Garmin GPS 72 model. We like it but tend to need to refresh ourselves with the functions if we have not used it in awhile. It picks up satelite really well and is accurate with locating geocaching coordinates. It's really fun and I think you'd love doing this with Ray. It's like a treasure hunt. You'd be amazed at how many caches are already out there. You should check out the official geocaching website. You'll have to sign up with a username and password, but it's free. http://www.geocaching.com/login/default.aspx?RESET=Y&redir=http%3a%2f%2fwww.geocaching.com%2fabout%2fcache_types.aspx
Hope this helps.

Thanks Rochelle!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like something that the whole family could have fun doing, I will be checking out and comparing different models. I think Santa will know what to send in the Taha direction :)
