Today we we got to learn about the world of Geocaching! (http://www.geocaching.com/ ) If you don't know what it is well?...to make a long story short it is a GIANT scavenger hunt which spans the globe where there is nearly 800,000 Cache's out there which are are all placed by coordinates and the information about the cache is posted online including the GPS coordinates. We got to take our own item bag in groups of 3 and travel across the campus and place it where we want marking the coordinates then we meet up with the group again to share our info, talk to the recreation students, and have some lunch. After that we dispersed around campus again to look for our classmates caches which we had much success. overall we learned a lot about the world of geocaching and got to get out in the sun ( and that Strong Eburg Wind!) and try it out a little.
