geocaching and muggles

because we are the parents of the hippest, coolest 8-year-old on the planet (or at least in denmark), we learned this week about geocaching (from her, of course). and today, we found (through the aid of my beloved iPhone, which husband refers to as the clever phone) our very first treasure. right here in our own neighborhood.

sabin led the way...

clever phone in hand

you use the GPS in your phone 

and a super cool app
(ours is the one made by groundspeak, the geocaching people themselves)
with all the info and clues

 to help you find your way

to the treasure.

the treasure is a container of some sort.

you bring something with you so you can trade

leaving a treasure behind and taking one.

super cool concept.

we left a stone from the black hills

and took a stone.

tho' there were other items.

we also brought a pen so we could write in the logbook.

then we filed a field note.

so other treasure hunters could benefit from our search.

it's a super concept.

i'll bet there's a treasure near you

what are you waiting for?

just don't let the muggles see you looking.

then everyone will want to play.
