Byrd's Geocaching Adventures: #4

#4

This one took me two tries. This one was actually the first one we looked for, and we were actually standing right next to it but we couldn't find it. On my way home from #3 I thought I'd stop for a moment and see if I could find it. I was excited when I did find it. I'll have to take Adan and Mateo when they get back. This one is actually the closest one to us here in Aggie Village.

Quick geocaching links...

Welcome to my website on the Byrd family adventures in geocaching. Geocaching, for those of you not familiar with it, is a modern-day treasure hunt using a GPS. People hide their caches, post the coordinates on-line, and you download the coordinates and go hunting for it. All geocaches have a log book that you can sign to show that you have been there, and many caches have trinkets that the kids can trade for, and some have travel bugs which are on-line trackable items that you move from cache to cache and see where they end up.

There are geocaches all over the world, and a lot of them, too. Some you can drive right up to and some require a bit of a hike. So find one today and go have some fun!

Here are a few quick links that I have found helpful. The main geocaching web site where you can download the coordinates of all the geocaches all over the world is:

Geocaching.com

For those of you into geohashing, which is a similarly fun GPS game, here is the web site were you can find the current meeting point:

Good luck, and have fun geocaching!
