Hunting for treasure.. Family fun!

The other day ron and I were watching tv.. Don't ask me what because like most men, he was ruling the remote.. But it was a good thing he did.
They had this bit on geocaching (www.geocaching.com) which is about to become some awesome family fun for us so I had to share ..
Basically you go to the web site and look in your area (or if your vacationing look there too).. Than you get the gps coordinates and go hunting. For some you won't need the gps because the area is easy to find and clues do follow.. So you could do it that way.
Anyways we have several in our local area that we are going to try to find.. One is located near bobs sink hole.. Which we found ourselves passing recently on a nature hike with the boys and clyde..
Okay so what do you find? A treasure! Nothing over the top.. But if you take something, replace it with something else and sign the log, you also update it online.. Example *found it 6-20-09 took poker chip left bouncy ball*
No there is no million in the dirt but the fun of the treasure hunt is the hunt itself.. Take a lunch, a few drinks and make a day of it!
Can't wait till we do our first.
