Geocaching!

I've been hearing about geocaching for several years now. It had always sounded interesting, and after getting an email from a fitness site suggesting it as a motivation to get in a daily walk, I decided to check it out. After registering at Geocaching.com and entering some zip codes, I discovered there were not only a ton of caches right in my neighborhood, but also small ones on either side of my office building. I told my co-worker about it, and we decided we'd check it out at lunch - her project has a GPS unit and she needed to practice with it anyway. This is the first one we found - and it was really well hidden and well camoflaged. And we'd been walking right by, within a few feet of it, for months on previous walks!
The second one, on the other side of the building, is somewhere around here, but we couldn't find it today.


Can't wait to get my own GPS receiver and start doing this around home.
