Tom F. mentioned geocaching in a comment in the "Off the beaten path" discussion so I thought I would start a seprate discussion on geocaching.

What are some of your experiences with geocaching and where are some good places to go in relation to length of trips, time needed and difficulty.

Funny! Yes, it does take a little time, but actually finding something is a rush... or so I hear. I have a GPS but have yet to figure out how to set it up for geocaching. I think I am GPS-challenged.

We just got a GPS and found our first Cache on the 4th of July. My son (13) seemed to think we were silly but the closer we got the more exited he was! Now he wants to go all the time.

I recently got my girlfriend into Geocaching. She thought it would be fun so she sent me a link about TPWD having a Geocache contest (23 caches total, 10 in Houston area and 13 in Dallas Area state parks)

Link: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/geocaching/

but, if you know what park you are going to, I have actually had better results simply Google-ing. Brazos Bend is my area and I get more caches by putting "Brazos Bend State Park Geocache" than I did trying to search through geocache.com

just my 2cents

Who's going?

Some geo \caching in Inks Lake SP, does anyone know @ around Port Aransas?
I love geocachin, it is fun and adventurous.  I started doing it for my kids, and now I am the one going crazy for it.  I have been able to find lots of sites at the State Parks, most recent at Inks and Ray Roberts.  I think I have a few pictures on my page.  I like to go with my friend or kids and we explore different sites.
