I was just wondering if there were any fellow geocacher's on here. If so what was the best one you found? For those of you who don't know what it is check it out the website www.geocaching.com. People go hide little boxes around town then get on this website and post the coordinates and clues to where it is. When you find it, there is a sheet where you sign your name and you can put something in it and put it back where you got it.

There are a couple in a park near my house. Im going to see if I could find some.

I've never tried it, even when I had my Tomtom GPS.

It looks like they have a neat geocaching app for the iPhone according to your link.

its fun, found a few cool random things, like a dried up starfish.....heat blanket.....and a pocketknife, we didnt know what to expect, so we just left a dollar in each one we went to.

You have to make sure you read the kind of cache it is, lol. We looked all over for one and it turned out that is was the place, not an item. Pissed us off...

Can you use a regular automotive style GPS for this?

I guess you need to bring something random to replace the item you take huh?

Seems kinda neat. Are you suppose to take what is left and leave something in its place?

I've never done this but it has gotten my interest. There is a huge park behind my house with a 5-10acre fen. I've gone to some geocaching sites and there are atleast 5 caches in the place. I may bust out the Garmin and take the kid for a nature walk one of these days.
