Geocaching

Got a couple hundred bucks, lots of spare time, walking shoes, keen eyesight and a sense of direction? No? Well... bummer. Then don't check out this website:

GeoCaching

What could be better than running around like a kid and hiding stuff for people to find?

Well, I borrowed a GPS unit from one of our interns. Nice gadget. I'll have to remember to return it to him.

I went in search of one of the items. Supposedly they even rank how easy it is to find this stuff. I went after something that was supposed to be relatively easy to find.

Well the Latitude/Longitude coordinates were smack on top of a bridge in a neighborhood. I said the only logical thing that could explain the possible hiding place of this ... whatever it is I'm supposed to be looking for.

"WTF?"

I check the railing along the bridge. Nope. No magnets holding anything on. I looked around the edges of grass along the road. Hmm... No man holes. heheheh.... man holes.

I finally wandered down under the bridge. And jolly rodger I found it!

A couple of used condoms and a half empty tub of Country Crock. Looks like I missed the party.
I will never do this again. Although I have been hiding stuff under bridges myself.
