Treasure Hunting
I started my holiday vacation today with a treasure hunt.
My cousins go Geocaching and today they took PJ and I along to learn a bit about the hobby. I had read something about it somewhere so I had some idea but here is the official description from the website:
“Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.”
It was fun, we found 4 of the 5 cache that we were looking for, it got dark and we didn’t have a light with us. I got to go to some places in the area that I had never been before.
After our walk in the desert we met up with Robert and Joe Robert who had spent some time in the park getting their slide on, Joe Robert had to show Mom how good he was on the slide.
After our in the dark aborted hunt we went to one of my favorite eateries, The Riviera, which has great Mexican food. PJ was a good boy and waited in his crate while we ate dinner, he was rewarded with dog cookies so he was happy.
Geocaching sounds like fun. It also sounds like something William Gibson would’ve thought up five or six years before it started happening!
