Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site

I geocache- mostly local stuff within a pleasant walking distance of where I live.
Geocaching is like treasure hunting, using GPS coordinates and sometimes clues and puzzles placed by the cache owner on the caches download page.

Sometimes there is literally a treasure box hidden near the coordinates. (Little toys and stuff- if you take a treasure you are supposed to leave a treasure.) Sometimes it is just a logbook you find and sign with your username and date found.

Urban caches can be very challenging- I have found log books hidden inside a tiny capsule resembling a nut and bolt attached by magnet to a sign, fencepost or piece of architecture.

Geocaching has led me to many hidden little garter habitats in my area that I'd never have otherwise known were there.

I am selkielass over at geocaching.com also.

I keep honeybees, sew, weave and spin. I occasionally participate in events of the Society for Creative Anachronisms where I am known as Mistress Elen Greenhand.
