Geocaching

I recently got involved in a new hobby. Geocaching. It's a lot of fun (well to me it is anyways).

I call it a high tech treasure hunt. You can find more information here at www.geocaching.com

You take a gps (which I'll admit is not cheap) and then put in the coordinates of the cache you want to find from the geocaching website and go find it.

So far I've only found 13 but I am REALLY enjoying it. I've found mostly micros but I've been more places than I've ever been around here. In the four years I have lived here I didn't realize how pretty some of the places were. I've been in about three cemeteries. I have always liked cemeteries. Find some cool stuff and some strange names in a cemetery.

The favorite place that I've been so far is called the Guiding Light cache. It's high on a hill with a BIG cross. It was originally a memorial for Lee Morris. Now it is both a memorial to him and to the victims of the ones who lost their lives to a tornado in April 2006 in Dyersburg, TN

Very pretty scenery. And I look forward to seeing more places like it. Thanks for putting it there. I have driven by it several times and never seen it until I started geocaching.
