I found something fun to do, that will allow me to get out more, and take more photos. It’s called Geocaching. It’s quite a bit of fun. Almost like a treasure hunt. People hide “caches” of items, and give a GPS coordinate on where to find them. I took my GPS out today, and found my first cache!!! The awesome part of this is, there are sometimes travel bugs in the caches. What’s a travel bug you ask? Well, below is one. People pick up travel bug tags, and can track them on the geocache site. It’s pretty neat.

Today, I found this little guy in the cache, he will be going with me when I go out camping next week, and dropped into another cache. So, please, if you are wandering around through the woods, and see an ammo can, or some other object laying on the ground (usually hidden below rocks, or fallen trees etc…) Don’t be alarmed! It’s probably a geocache waiting to be found. Check it out, write something in the notebook, but, please, don’t remove items from the cache unless you are geocaching.

And one more thing, if you do find one of these tags around, and you take a photo of it, PLEASE do NOT post the side that has the code. There are people that create false locations for the codes, and it screws up the tracking.
