I must be a nerd because geocaching is something I've wanted to try for several years. My dad was the one who suggested it since we love using our metal detector along beaches and such. This is a great excuse to buy a gps!

I changed my header pic on the blog so you can see another view of Charleston...it's only temporary but specifically for you! Kris - The gps was $150 or so but that's the only expense aside from gas! CR - try it...you'll like it! Becca - I can't believe more people don't stumble upon these things. Anyhow, I am hoping we will see some neat new places too...we've already walked across the big bridge which many folks in Charleston have never done! Lacy - just don't tell my wife! Mom - I already have them loaded in the gps Kristen - We'll be up 2x this summer I think. I can't wait to sniff around your neck of the woods! I didn't know you were in to it..cool! farm mom - I grew up east and farther out in no man's land than where you are and they exist there too. I'd bet you have some...go to www.geocaching.com and enter your zip...they'll tell you what's around! Lynnie - They are hidden very well and geocachers are warned not to get spotted by muggles...I think a lot of it is nasty people are too busy being nasty in other ways to mess up caches. We'll see how our experience goes but I tend to think most people are live and let live, about that sort of stuff anyhow! Tipper – we are going again this weekend…it’s a bunch of fun!

With 700 boxes out there you won't be running out of entertainment anytime soon! The give/take thing is a pretty cool idea. I guess with letterboxing it's collecting stamps, which is nice because then you can show off your little book of stamps later, but I am always wondering why more of them aren't stolen by some meanie out there wanting to spoil all the fun. I guess maybe in general people are pretty honest and want to have a good time and see others having a good time, too. It's nice to know that. Wow!

I thought about getting into that or letterboxing once, but I doubt we could find anything here in no mans land! Glad Emily is feeling better! :) Very cool, Uncle Warren, very cool.

We have 3 caches hidden in President and one of them is really cool. We go caching every summer and it's amazing the places you'll find that you didn't even know existed. They are even on the islands down the Allegheny. We hid one right out from our camp on the island so we can watch people try to find it. We all sit there with our binoculars and laugh. The kids really enjoy the multicaches though. Found a couple on Smokey Hill too...that was a fun day. pa grandma is right. We have 3 caches hidden in President and one of them is really cool.

There are lots of caches in this area to find. I think we could have a lot of fun hiking trails, etc to find them. Bring your Garmin in the spring. There are lots of caches in this area to find.

Josh loves his garmin! He has a watch gps thingy too. It's for work, I think. And you are welcome to man-crush on my husband. He's terribly cool in that 007 meets Jason Bourne meets Joel Salatin kind of way. At least, I think so. Blessings! Lacy What a neat thing to do!

I also saw some people looking for one (I hope, or they were just strange) on the Cliff Walk in Newport, RI this weekend! Seems like it's a cool way to explore a lot of interesting places.
