BOREDOM BUSTER!!
The naitives were restless this morning. There IS such a thing as too much togetherness. I made the executive decision to go on a field trip. We went geocaching! Geocache: A real-world scavenger hunt using gps enabled devicies where one finds hidden containers containing log sheets and trinkets of all kinds. The idea is to locate the cache, open it, sign the log sheet, take a trinket and leave one in its place.
The natives were pumped up about our treasure hunt..



I opened my geocache app (there's an app for that...) and it immediately located 3 caches near our house. The green dot is the cache and the red dot is us.
We drove the the location indicated on the map and began our search. Unfortunately, we were unable to find it. So, not to be defeated, I pulled up another location and we set off.



This time we hit the jackpot! We found it under a bridge in some gardens on the local college campus.




We opened it up and found all the trinkets left by other geocachers.



Then we signed the log book, put in a couple of trinkets of our own and put it back under the bridge. We went on more hunts after nap. Those pics will have to wait for another post!
