Here it is! My Geocaching page. As if I didn’t already have enough hobbies 
. For the uninitiated Geocaching is a sport that incorporates a combination of orienteering and treasure hunting. Essentially, you start out with a latitude and longitude and use that to aid finding the “cache”. Trust me, it isn’t as easy as it sounds.
The GPS gets you close… 20-30ft or so. The rest is pure hide and seek. The experts call the ability to find the cache from
there “geo-sense” . Some of them even make it harder by including the requirements to solve puzzles to determine the actual coordinates. And of course, the cache isn’t just sitting out in the open! Check out the links below for more information on geocaching. Eventually, I’m hoping to incorporate this into my ATVing since we use the GPS a lot already.
Here are my stats as tracked on www.geocaching.com:

My Geocaching Links
http://www.garmin.com/ – I use a Garmin eTrex Vista for my geocaching activities. I protected the screen with one of the protectors used for PDAs, and the thing has been unstoppable ever since I bought it.
http://www.gpscity.com/ – Once I got my GPS, I had to figure out how to mount and carry it. My Dad turned me on to RAM mounts. These things are SWEET. GPS City is an authorized distributor, and where I purchase most of my mounts.
http://www.geocaching.com/about/ - This is a collection of FAQs and other information on geocaching in general. This site also provides “cache pages” that describe caches all over the US and provides for logging finds and hides. You can search for caches in your area by name, location, zip code, lat/lon etc
http://www.okic.org/ – This is one of the local caching clubs. They have a number of social events, and their members seem to be very active on geocaching.com above. There are hundreds of caches in the Cincinnati area alone! In my limited experience, several of their members have been very helpful in getting started
http://www.ohiohistory.org/ – This is the website of the Ohio Historical Society. Many of the geocache sites have
some historical significance, and this site has been handy in finding information about them.
The Georgetown Trip! – the trip that started it all for me after stopping at the New Hope Bridge
