Anyone here ever do it?

Brown does it on alternate Saturdays ...in accordance with his parole agreement.

is that where you run around with a gps and try to log all the cool places and shit?

Haven't done it, but I've been told that there are some really cool caches out in Nevada.

I've never done it apparently you can go to Geocaching.com and you can search your area for caches and it gives GPS co-ordinances (sp?) to where they are and once you find them, you can sign your name to let others you have found the cache and then return to its original state. Its like a "treasure hunt" kind of thing. Sounds interesting but I don't know shit about GPS'ing anything and I get lost the dark LOL.
Just wondered how many people on here did it.

I thought it would be cool to do a boating kind of thing. Maybe on the Delta or something.....My husband said there is one somewhere out on the Island at Lake Hogan. I never even knew that.

A former co-worker used to do that with his daughter. He would usually try to mix it in with trips to educational or historical sites in NorCal. I think he was having a lot more fun at it than his kid.

Running a GPS is easy, T. I learned while still working, & used it to get lat/lon numbers on properties of interest from a helicopter. It is a fairly simple process. Remind me, and the next time we hook up I'll bring mine and you can fiddle with it a bit. Prices on them have come way down and the features on them have really improved. You can get a decent Garmin for around a hundred and a quarter.
The trick involved in back-country caching is finding the roads that get you close to the cache. The ones out in Nevada are supposed to be an absolute blast. they fancier units have all kiinds of mapping software in them, and that makes the road findin' much easier.
