(That's what I call it.) A worldwide game that very few people know about is rather exciting isn't it. Finding them without a GPSr is going to get tuff, though. You can get used ones on eBay for under $100, or as mentioned above the new "smart" phones have the ability to add a geocaching program. My wife uses the Blackberry from Sprint. Works absolutely fabulous! Stop by our geocaching blog and say hello. Good luck with the game. (That’s what I call it.) A worldwide game that very few people know about is rather exciting isn’t it.
