Have you heard of Geocaching? If not, it is a high-tech treasure hunting game that takes place around the world. You use your GPSr unit, or other navigational device, to hide and seek containers worldwide. Basically, you upload coordinates from a geocaching website, you plug them in to your GPSr, follow the coordinates and start looking for a container. The container could be as small as your fingertip or as big as a .50 cal ammo can (rarely larger). Once found, you will normally find a logbook to sign and some trinkets to trade. It is a great year-round outdoor activity!! You get a lot of exercise (sometimes without even realizing it) and you get to visit some neat historic and scenic places.
