Geocaching

When Katie went back to work earlier this month, her boss told her to go and get a new cell phone. So she bought an iphone4. She loves it and each day shows me something different it can do. And today, while the Turkey was cooking, we tried something new on it -- Geocaching!

It has GPS and all the gizmos you'd ever want. We downloaded a Geocaching Application (App) and voila! We were off to discover some new adventures. We live really close to some great areas and made the most of our chilly day in Calgary.

Megan was eager to help us find the geo goodies, but was easily distracted with puppy dogs! She LOVES animals and has no fear - so we make up what she lacks : ) We told her we weren't trying to find the dog and we continued on our adventure.

The iphone4 GPS got us within 3 feet of the geocache each time. This one was in a camo box and had twigs/leaves covering it up.



And while this one was in a clear Tupperware container, you had to be on the right side of the tree. We filled out each of the log books and took some time to read some of the other comments. We plan on placing a couple in our neighbourhood and track who is comes and where they are from!

Do you do any geocaching?

I think I need a new employer that will buy me an iphone 4. :(

We have friends that do geocaching. Some of them have quads and go out in the woods, others just around town.
