Midwest Camping thread on Geocaching

[Dunnfamily4]

The below is a posting that I did on the Midwest Camping thread on 12/11/07 about geocaching.  The conversation with spicetrader began about camping in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas (awesome park with geocaches).

12/11/07:  I have posted a few notes on the geocaching thread, if you care to check out postings over the past year. That won't be to many since only a few posts are made every few months. We have lots of fun geocaching. I sometimes go alone, with one or both kids, and sometimes a pack of kids (mine and their friends). I have found that most cachers are really interested in promoting safe, fun, and eco-friendly activities. I was introduced to geocaching by a friend that said it was hiking with a purpose. Since I love games, outdoors and hiking, it is a perfect fit. I don't get caught up in doing as many as I possibly can in a day since I want to take in the whole experience of being outdoors.

If you can borrow a gps check it out. They are getting cheaper. I bought ours for under $100 two Christmas' ago. I have dropped it and fallen with it (I can be a clutz sometimes) and it keeps on ticking!

Also, visit the website: geocaching.com to get more information. Have fun!
