One way or another, I'm going to find you...

I have recently been introduced to this secretly awesome underground nerd-burgery thing. I'm not even sure if I should say, it might be like Fight Club and i may get dead.... Probs not.
It's called Geocaching and it goes something a little like this.

Imagine the Easter Bunny was real, but instead of a bunny it was thousands of strangers all over the world, and instead of hiding chocolate eggs - because lets be honest, what was a bunny doing with eggs or chocolate in the first place? - it's containers of various sizes that hold no more value than the personal satifaction of finding them. Add in a bit of gps gadgetry and cryptic clues and thats geocaching.

These thing are everywhere, literally. You know that tiny hole of a town you live in? There is probs one there. That park you used to play in as a kid or the car park you visit every week to do your shopping? Bet there's one there too.



These pictures would totally make sense if you were a geo-nerd*

The Big Ev is on the hunt. Current tally: 9 found.


*Not an actual acceptable term for  a Geocacher

I so don't get it.

That is awesome. I need to get me a bit of that action. I love how they refer to non geo-nerds as muggles!
Glad to see you're still loving it.

Kymmy: I don't know if Geo Caching is for you. It's not complicated though just the way I explained it. check out the website.

Suga: Get into it. The muggle thing is a little silly because they clear stole it from HP... or maybe HP stole it from them. Controversy!
