Geocaching on Thanksgiving



My dad and I went geocaching on Thanksgiving which is like this really cool treasure hunt type thing. Online at geocaching.com people who have hidden things like ammo boxes or tubberware containers somewhere in a park or something like that can post the coordinates and then if you have a GPS you can go and find them, inside of the containers there are little things like Mcdonalds toys and stuff so you can trade something else like that. Also there are these things called Travel Bugs and there some sort of toy or keychain or whatever and they have a dog tag with a number you can use to track them on the website and a lot of them have some sort of "goal" like to go somewhere like we found one that had a "goal" to go to New Orleans and we were going there in a couple of weeks so we took it there. Anyway my dad and I must have walked like 2 or 3 miles in this park and we found two geocaches. I got a purple car from one of them and a baby rattle from an other one.
