A buddy @ work introduced me to Geocaching. I luv it. Luh--uvvvv it! It is very relaxing. I lose track of all my "so-called problems" and turn into a hound dog. The hunt is on! I'm not the best at it but, I try. I haven't caught on to the riddles yet. I'm not very good at those (everybody has their weaknesses).
Get yourself a handheld GPS and log onto http://www.geocaching.com/. It's free and fun. Well, if you get that "exclusive" package...I think it's like $10 for 3 months or something. Even so, it's cheap and fun.
If you have children and want to have fun while spending quality time without spending quality cash....you've hit the jackpot.
If you don't have kids and just want to roam around aimlessly, like me.....you've found the activity.
Those suckers are everywhere. Whatever your location....just log it in and BAM!!!!! the site will show in detail all of the geocaches located around your area. You'd be suprised what's hidden and where.
P.S. I love to geocache at parks. Everyone there is looking at you like, what the heck are you doing? Did you lose an earring or something. Is that a metal detector? What is that? What are you doing? Are you alright?
You can spark some crazy conversations.
