First question: how do you add -ing to the word ‘cache’? Yeah, so it might be cacheing, or it could be caching. I can’t decide. Help me out. I’ll stick with caching for now.

Anywho, Puneet and I went Geocaching today. It was pretty fun. All in all we hiked about 5 miles and found 2 caches.

How does Geocacheing work? Simple, all you do is go online and look up a challenge, which includes a set of GPS coordinates and perhaps some hints. Then you go out and look for the prize, which is in some sort of waterproof box. When you find the box you leave behind a prize and take something from the inside. You also sign your name to a piece of paper inside. It’s good times.

Makes me think I should get a GPS device. Seems like the Geocaching community in Bloomington is alive and thriving. We’ll see…I’ve got a list full of things I’d like to buy, but I’d also like to save some cash.

Try out Geocaching, it’s fun. ‘night.
