Geocaching

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting game, according to Wikipedia. "Treasure" is used in very loose fashion here. Tiffany, Sadie and I spent the day with Joanne and Travis trying our hand at geocaching in Easton. Using a hand-held GPS we found several, couldn't find one off the the rails-to-trails.

Joanne and Travis are veterans, bringing newcomers into the fold.

It was fun. Something about the experience of searching and the finding, not necessarily the "treasure." And the too rare experience of being outside, rambling around with little purpose other than simply having fun was wonderful. Suddenly, I was 10 again instead of 45 with all of its slowing decrepitude. Sadie smiled a lot as did Tiffany and Travis and Joanne. So did I. That qualifies as a good day, well spent, just having fun, finding treasures.
