Naturally High Tech - Day 21



The number of geocaches in the region has been growing tremendously.  What had been 600 sites that we were so proud of in 2010, has become 7100 sites.  Let's do the math - if we geocached every day for a year,  we'd need to find at least 20 per day - and that's only if there are no new sites added.


What is geocaching? Here is an explanation from www.geocaching.comGeocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.


Our favorite place to geocache? Lynches River County Park. The Environmental Discovery Center even provides loaner gps units if your group doesn't have one.
