Just went on our first... GeoCaching "expedition"

It was fun (and free). Definitely something you could try out over spring break. What's a geocache you ask? It's kind of like a scavenger hunt to find a hidden cache (a box/canister etc) that has been hidden by someone else. You get to use GPS to help you get to the approximate location and then you have to find the hidden item with the help of a clue.

We just downloaded a free app for our iPhone and it listed 3 geocaches near to our location. We got on our bikes and road to Terra Nova. We could not find the first one we searched for but that made it that much more exciting when my son Nolan found the second one. We signed in to the log book that was in the cache box and then went off to find the third one on our list. Mrs. Rollins quickly found this one which was a film canister sneakily hidden in a tricky location! Good times and we got lots of exercise riding up and down the dike as well. There are geocaches in over 100 countries and there's even one on the ISS (International Space Station). We can't wait to do it again.
