Geocaching - Another name for treasure hunting!
Basically, geocachers leave some small treasures in a watertight container in a particular location, and record the position by GPS. This location is published, so that others can enjoy the challenge of finding the treasure. The treasure may be something like a small toy, a sweet, and a notebook and pen, so that finders can mark their success, and leave other items for the next caller.
To find a Geocaching site, simply visit a cache listing site (see below) and pick up a set of co-ordinates and maybe even a clue!
Degree Confluence Project
Here's a great way to spend a weekend, and contribute to a worldwide project. Albeit a little eccentric. But sometimes, that's what life is about, is it not?
It is called the confluence project, and is designed to log a landscape photograph for every confluence of whole lattitude (e.g. 27 degrees), and whole longtitude (e.g. 153 degrees).
