Jeeves gave me a way cool GPS used for geocaching. What is geocaching?

www.geocaching.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching

It's fun! There are sites all around, even downtown N.O.!

If you go to www.geocaching.com and search 70068 we found "Pathetic attempt at cammo" and it was filled with trinkets like a toy dinosaur, a ruler, a log book which I signed, a couple of washers and some other stuff. Very fun. You do have to look, they are not right out in the open. With the gps I have you go to garmin.com and put in the location you want to search. Then you click to download (I did about a hundred) locations. You just plug it in with a usb. Very easy once you figure it out!
