Kristen had a great idea to enjoy the beautiful weather today. She thought it would be fun to take the kids geocaching. We had never tried that with the kids.
So, what is Geocaching?
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.
We told Annaka and Jack, however, we were going to look for Pirate treasure. So we set off with our coordinates plugged into our GPS unit. Our
cache was located in some woods right on campus. After a good half-hour searching, we found the cache inside a tree stump. You never know what you will find inside a cache, I mean a Pirate's treasure chest. There were some trinkets and oddities. Both Annaka and Jack left some Clemson memorabilia and Annaka took some nice sunglasses (see picture) and Jack found a small Superman doll. All in all, a good day was had by all.
