Has anyone heard of geocaching? This is something I just discovered yesterday and have become completely fascinated. In case you're wondering, like I did, geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. At its simplest level, geocaching requires these 8 steps:
Register for a free Basic Membership.Visit the "Hide & Seek a Cache" page.Enter your postal code and click "search."Choose any geocache from the list and click on its name.Enter the coordinates of the geocache into your GPS Device.Use your GPS device to assist you in finding the hidden geocache.Sign the logbook and return the geocache to its original location. Share your geocaching stories and photos online.
I didn't realize just how popular this has become. Apparently there are over 1200 caches in the Greenwood Lake area!! If you're into it, come on up to the Inn and let the treasure hunt begin.
