anyone can take part. you can even do it without at GPS. it's tougher but we've found stuff without our GPS - you can use Google Earth LINK to get you close, then just hunt around. you can copy and paste the coordinates right from www.geocaching.com into Google Earth and it gives you a satellite image of the area where the cache is stashed. we've just started getting into it, the kids LOVE it, and there are 148 caches withing 10 miles of our zip code.

this cache was so perfect for the boys as it has a Star Wars theme. check it out here - LINK. with the cache pictured we just signed a log that's stashed within it (there was nothing to take or leave).

we're going to start hiding caches soon too. if you haven't tried geocaching i definitely recommend it. it's basically a clever, worldwide hide-and-go-seek game for everyone. get some coordinates, pile everyone in the MB and go have some fun!
