Wikipedia says "Geocaching is a project organized by Groundspeak, which holds the trademark for the word/activity. It is organized as outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (usually a tupperware or ammo box) containing a logbook. Larger containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching is most often described as a "game of high-tech hide and seek", sharing many aspects with orienteering, treasure-hunting, and waymarking. Geocaches are currently placed in over 100 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica. As of March 8, 2010, there are over 1,007,477 active geocaches over the world.

As Mike, Matt, Christina, Anna, and I trapsed around Optimistic Park, just behind Indian Head, I felt ridiculous, merriment, and wonder. It was a beautiful springtime day, birds were chirping, children were squealing on a playground a ways off, and I was looking for a camoflauge box in the middle of a trail-just discreet enough to spot and to miss if you were not actively searching. We actually found 2 boxes, the first of which was not a geocache series, but another, similar concept. Matt found this one, and Nina found the second one.

The day began at the Springtime Tally Parade, lunch at Little Athens Gyros was next, followed by geocaching, and ended with tossing a frisbee, swinging on the playground's swings, sidewalk chalk arting, and dinner at Mike and Matt's home. What a perfect day. Thanks, God.
