I’m shocked that I’ve never heard of this great new sport before–geocaching! It sounds like orienteering but with cool technical gadgets and bizarre intellectual riddles. Apparently they do it in Sweden. I wonder if it’s arrived here yet… It sounds like great fun…
What led me to this particular topic? Well, I got an alert on a blog post on Early Medieval Thuringia. Why would I be following random links to early medieval blog posts a half hour past midnight? ‘Cause I’m trying to get a syllabus for this semester put together before the family arrives home tomorrow morning. It’s coming…slowly.
Anyway–read this.
i have some friends who do it. bloggy friends, anyway. They live in scotland now, but used to live in washington state. in fact, they used to have a geocaching blog, I think.
Your profile says you are in the United States. If that is correct, that is where Geocaching (geocaching.com) started, around 2000 or 2001… I believe most of the Geocaches are in North America.
Cool… I’ll definitely have to look into this…
