Wikipedia writes "Geocaching is an outdoor sporting activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it."

While in Indio, California, Ed and I went hiking with our friend George. During the hike we stopped at a "cache" location and searched unsuccessfully for the cache. This event, however, got Ed thinking. He bought himself a new hand held GPS for Christmas and started researching.Today I was healthy enough to venture out and with co-ordinates locked into the GPS we went in search of two geocaches that are in walking distance from the RV park. The first cache was found as we carefully looked around a large patch of prickly pear cactus and the second one was found when Ed made his way through ten feet of scrub. Zaph and I waited in clearing to hear of the discovery. Ed has a lot long list of caches in the area so I know what we're going to be doing this winter.
