Does anyone search for Geocaches?
I started looking into them earlier this week and found a few while I was killing time this week, but then this evening, Megan and I drove around East Brainerd searching for them. We found 9, I think. We couldn't find 1 and didn't want to go into the woods at one location.
The concept is that someone hides a container of any size and posts the coordinates on geocaching.com. Then people can input the coordinates and search withing a couple meters of the hiding spot. Once you find them, you open the container and sign a log of who all has found it. Sometimes the larger ones have a trade thing where you can take an item if you leave an item.
It's pretty fun and can be very challenging. Most of the ones we found today were film canisters. I remember accidentally finding one in college on a monument on campus. It was so small it was in the weep hole of the bricks, so about the size of a pencil, but only the eraser was showing!
