Searching the Globe

I was recently introduced to a new hobby. It's called Geocaching. You can find out more about here: www.geocaching.com

Basically, you use GPS receivers to go to coordinates given on the website. Sometimes at the coordinates you find monetary treasure (if you're the First To Find) and sometimes the person who set up the "Cache" will send you on a multiple step scavenger hunt that leads to a beautiful view. It is a great, fun way to get out and enjoy God's creation...although sometimes you do get some funny looks from people. :) "What is he doing, wandering in circles like that?!"

And it's not that expensive to get into either...unlike other hobbies. A new GPSr starts around $40, and it may even get you to where you want to go!

I just placed my first cache today. You can go to the website and search under my screen name to find it: MoxieMan. Mmmmm, Moxie...another great blog topic for the future! Well, enough for now.

In His Grip,
Dave
