Treasure hunting for big and little people
We've just had the pleasure of Uncle Andy coming to stay for a few days. Yesterday he took us Geocaching which is a worldwide game of high-tech hiding and seeking treasure. Anyone can hide a little box of treasures and then puts the GPS co-ordinates and some clues up on the internet. When you find the little container you take out a little treasure and replace it with another one and write your name on the little log book. It's great fun and we successfully found four. Three were small plastic containers hidden in trees while one was located on a busy street overpass in a shoe polish tin with magnets attached, discreetly hidden under a pole. Geocaching is a great way to explore areas we would otherwise never have discovered.

Andy went Geo-caching at Chilton and Beechworth for his birthday - very desparate to find the cache -did he notice the lovely or unusual surrounds where they were located.
ReplyDeleteActually Andy was keen to point out that we'd never have noticed these beautiful old trees unless we were looking for a cache. Although I agree he seems to be slightly obsessed...
ReplyDeleteI think the polite term is 'eccentric' :) Andy
