Ever feel the desire to go on an adventure? Even more, ever feel the desire to go treasure hunting? I recently came across a popular worldwide hobby called Geocaching (Gee-Oh-Cash-Ing), where normal people like you and I place what is referred to as a geocache (Geo-Cash) at a specific geographic location and the co-oridanates are posted by that person. At this point all you need to do is bring it up on your GPS device (also available on Smartphones) and follow the map/compass that's available to find the location of the hidden treasure.
Today my adventure started at selecting the coordinates on my iPhone, I then grabbed a water bottle and jumped on my bike. And yes, there's an app for that (I never get tired of saying that). I spent probably three hours finding the exact location of the cache, was it worth it? Absolutely. It's like a high tech game of Hide and Seek.
