I'm a Geek!

Ok, here's where I've been hiding of late:
GEO-CACHING!
http://www.geocaching.com

I'm now an official techno geek, complete with a hi tech gizmo and lusting after more! Using a handheld GPS unit and plugging in coordinates found from aforementioned Geo-cache site I follow hints and directions till I find hidden treasure! Usually the booty itself isn't much, but the satisfaction of having found it, been undetected while searching for it, and replacing it surreptitiously is the reward! The size of the caches range from micro (film canister) to regular (tupperwareish) to big (ammo can or coffee can).

It's a hoot! And the more you do it, the more you find the need for a pda to download the coordinates and clues into, a laptop to wirelessly connect to find caches while on the fly, mapping software to pinpoint locations and topos, and … what else is there? I want it! I need it! For right now I'm happy just carting around a big notebook and a pen, but you just wait! It wont be long before I feel the need to wrap some tape around the nose piece of my sunglasses!

Now, if you'll excuse me I am off to go locate N 33° 52.005 W 117° 41.421!
