Treasure Hunting Excitement!

Today, me and my 4 year old son Trale, went Geocaching for the first time. It's glorified treasure hunting! You need a GPS receiver to find the many different geocaches boxes placed by others all over the world!

We made our first adventure this morning before work at the Mary Esther Nature Trail near 98. The nature trail was really neat. Who knew we had such a neat gem?

After about 15 minutes of walking and searching with our GPS, we found it! The rules are that you leave an item and take an item from the geocache container. Today it was a little rubbermaid container. It had a ton of stuff inside!

Trale thought we had to take the whole box so "pirates wouldn't come and take it!" Haha! I had to explain to him the rules.

I have pictures on my Geocaching site www.GravelShot.com. I'll post my finds there for the future hunts.

Wow...never heard of such a thing. I'd imagine here in Texas these sites are sooooooo spread out I'll need to take a week off just to get to them.

There are tons of them everywhere! It's quite amazing this has been going on. And we never knew!

I hadn't heard of this either. But the kids and I really enjoyed the Nature Park when we went. It's pretty cool to see a local writing about it.
Eh and I just noticed you're a radio personality, too. (grin) pretty cool, and explains why you communicate well, too. I left the comment about the road, but I'd rather not be attached to that information.
I'll have to check out this Geo thing. Sounds fun. :)
