Geocaching in my chips

Apr 20, 2010 02:06

So, I know I'm about ten years late to the party, but today I found a new hobby! Geocaching! Three hours after finding out about it, I had already realised I was useless at said hobby. BUT IT IS FUN AND I AM OBSESSED!

I searched for my location over here and saw there was a cache very near my house! So Merlin and I ventured forth, guided by the ( Read more... )

I know! I was amazed when I looked it up online! Did you check if there were any caches near your new place?

OMG! Really? That's so cool! I recommended it to my friend who has a nine year old and a three year old, I think they'd love it!

I can't wait to place my own cache, although I've yet to find one! Fail.

I do not, however I know people who do! A coworker of mine and her son do tons of stuff together. They haven't done any recently, but that is probably mostly due to cold weather. She said it was tons of fun! Also, a lady on my friend's list has also done some 'caching, but not lately; I think she has been too busy spinning yarn! ;)

Ahh, that's great! I think it seems like a lovely hobby to do with your kids :). My dog will have to step in, in the absence of children in my life! He'll certainly get a lot of walks!

I've never been geocaching, but my brother recently took it up and has been sharing the stories of his treasure-hunting adventures with me. It sounds like a delightful hobby to have! :D

Really! That's so cool. It does sound like fun, I can't wait to get started! Maybe this weekend! :D

That is AWESOME! I want to play! Except, alas, i have no GPS, and no coat like Withnail's, either, to my immense dismay. I adore him.

I know! I'm so excited about it! I think some models of BlackBerry have GPS, I'm not sure if mine did :(.

I will have to take a picture of my Withnail coat, it's not exactly like it, but it does evoke the spirit of Withnail. I'll have to find a red tartan scarf and pose for a photo!
