I've been looking into geocaching. It seems like it would be fun...although some of the caches are pretty far away from my house and I want to do it with my son. We can technically drive to the caches...but I think the point is to be outdoors. I'm not biking 20 miles to find a cache.

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.

My mum has done some geocaching with my nieces, so yes its done over here.

During the winter I play field hockey. I used to game a lot more, but haven't taken it too seriously since I helped run a BF2 clan (we did BF2142 and some mods for a bit too before the game petered out). Most of the games I've played recently have been on the Wii (Zelda, Red Steel, House of the Dead, Goldeneye) but nothing to rival the glory days of BF2. I find nowadays that when I spend long days in the home office working I really don't want to stay there in the evening with the gaming rig.

My neighbor and her kids were doing the geocaching thing...I thought it sounded like fun...something my son and I could do together that would be active and involve getting out into nature and exploring. I hear that some of the caches can be really tough to find though. There is one close to my house in our park down the street, and my neighbor told me that you have to climb into a bamboo forest on this trail to get to it. I'm probably going to give it a try though...so I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
