I went on my first geocaching expedition today. Dad got a GPS receiver for free when he bought his truck last year, so we were playing around with it when I decided to check geocaching,com for any caches in the area (**side note: ‘the area’ was Iowa for the weekend.**). Turns out that there was one at BV park, so we decided to drive a few miles and see if we could locate it.
Turns out it was a fairly easy one, (**side note: asp? please.**) and we found it within a few minutes of arriving at the park. It was an old ammo box with a pencil box, plush toy, fishing lure, candle, and some other random objects. Oh, and a log book and a pencil, so we could put our names with the other 6-10 people that had found it before us.
Fun stuff anyway, and I’ll have to do it again. Whenever I can mooch someone’s receiver. To bed.
cool! i’ve wanted to try this, but i have no gps either.
i checked for grand island caches, and there are about 20 within 5 miles of my house. and about 150 within 20.
