Have you heard of geocaching? Well apparently people hide little boxes here and there, and then enter their GPS coordinates on a website. Then, you can use your hand held GPS to find the little boxes, open them up, leave a little note, take a trinket, leave a trinket, etc. I bought Ian a hand held GPS for Christmas, as you may know, and today it got up to 50 degrees. We took this opportunity to go to Pandapas Pond, as we have done so many times before, but this time we were searching for caches. It was actually pretty fun. We spent about 2 hours looking for four different caches. We sucessfully located 2 of them. It was a little difficult because there was still quite a bit of snow in some places so we hare happy with finding two out of four. Maybe we'll go back this summer to find the ones we could not locate this time. Photo time...
At the frozen pond before we started our search
On the trail, in search
Spotted the first one...
Here it is...
So once we found it, we opened it, signed a little book, and put it back. So, interesting day. It definitely spiced up our hike a little.

geocaching seems like a fun event for a hike. you should knit some sort of small trinkits to put in the cach; perhaps braided neit hair.
