Geocaching anyone?

Kyle and I went to go caching today and we found five out of five! :D It was pretty awesome and we had a good time doing it. I think that we found them all within 10 minutes and we even got help from some nice "muggles" (people who do not know what Geocaching is) Oh, I don't think I have said anything about what Geocaching is or how I got into it.

"Geocaching is an outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (usually a tupperware or ammo box) containing a logbook. Larger containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching is most often described as a "game of high-tech hide and seek", sharing many aspects with orienteering, treasure-hunting, and waymarking." Wikipedia

So that is Geocaching in a nutshell! It is really fun and exciting to look for caches and we (Kyle, Spencer and I) have 106 caches found and 12 hidden and the leaders in New Hampshire have something like 6,000 caches found. Ridiculous, amirght?

Kyle and I also signed up for PostCrossing, which is a way to send postcards to people from all over the world and then you get one back from someone else! It is wicked cool and I heard about it by reading my friend's blog (Fishnets & Hip Checks) and it sounded really interesting because I have always been curious and interested in having a penpal that sends physical letters rather than e-mails and this seems like a good way to get to have that! I have sent out two (one to China and one to Lithuania) and I am really hoping that the girl from Lithuania actually talks to me and responds to me because I am really interested in their culture because I love Russia and Poland! Yay!
