A couple of weeks ago i went and got an invertor for my car so we could use the GPS program with our laptop and we gave it a shot last weekend...it was great! Even told us how fast we were going, I thought it was pretty neat!

I have a handheld GPS unit so the wife and myself can geocache. Its a great way to get outside and enjoy the nice summer time weather. We use our GPS unit all the time we go on long car trips. Its nice to see where we are going ahead of time, and it gives us an estimate on when we will be arriving at location based on our current speed.

Marty has one that he uses for his motorcycle and car. It is really accurate!

I wonder if they have something that you can put in your car to track where the kids are taking it?

Ain't geocaching a BLAST? 8-)

We do that too (in our spare 15 minutes per week) :lol:

.......seriously, after we dog train in the woods, we take the dogs for a hike and we've found some pretty neat stuff. We have a local club up here and some GOOD prizes are left........rules are, when you find a prize, you leave one.....2 weeks ago we found a pair of tickets to the movies, we left a coupon for 2 free dinners at a mexican food joint up here!

So that would be about 10 feet? :lol:

I understand the concern.

We absolutely enjoy geocaching. It is so much fun. I usually get 4 or 5 caches, go to the location where we picked the caches, and then usually do 1 or 2 of them depending on how long and how beat we are from finding the first one. I'm looking at going out for a cache hunt in the next couple of weeks...maybe up towards my in-laws in Punxsy. They are 4 new caches up there, and they dont seem to hard to find.

We have never left or took anything. We just sign the log book. One of these cache hunts, we will have stuff to trade out with. But a lot of the caches that we have found so far are just log books.

Thanks, Brunota!

Good thing that they didn't have those gadgets when I was a teen.
