geocaching fun!

Chris and I have started geoaching again. For those of you who don't know, geocaching is like a scavenger hunt that you do with a handheld GPS unit (a TOM TOM is an example of a gps for your car. A handheld gps is kind of the same, only smaller and better designed for use on foot). We've done several caches over the last couple of weekends. There's pictures and stories to all of them here, as well as all the ones we did when went geocaching years ago.
I won't Bore you with the details of all of them, but there was one that I thought was noteworthy. Someone put a cache near this alabama war veterans memorial in a nice park in leeds, alabama (about 20-30 minutes from where we live). It has a memorial with names of all the veterans from alabama that died in just about every war that's ever happened, even the alamo. I felt honored to be there, and it's in a beautiful park. I suggested to Chris that maybe we should go have a picnic breakfast with the veterans on memorial day. Maybe we could do that and then do more geocaching!
