A River Between

Geocaching

Even though winter can be really cold in Minnesota, it’s great when you can beat the cold and get out and have some fun! I gave Michael my GPS a few weeks back and introduced him to Geocaching. Basically it’s a modern-day treasure hunt, only you use a Global Positioning Device to find your treasure or “cache”.

Geocaching.com is where you should go to get a nice tutorial of this craze that’s been around only since 2000! There are hundreds of thousands of Geocaches all over the world that are tracked on geocaching.com (even 16 of them in Antarctica!).

The picture above was my first found cache! It may have been cold, but I felt that it was an incredible accomplishment! We tried to find another cache in another park in Minneapolis, but instead, Michael found a bird in a little cranny that nearly scared the bejesus out of him! We stopped looking after that!

So if you are looking for a fun and free activity, check it out!
