July 15, 2007 Geocaching Ride

[ajayhawkfan]

I am planning on going after a number of geocaches on my bike Sunday July 15th. The area I am thinking about going is in the Douglas, Franklin and Osage county.

You don't need to be a cacher to join in. If you are interested in learing about caching and wanting to give it a try this would be a good opertunity.

The ride will be on all types of roads except 4 lane. I don't set up an exact route. I ride from cache to cache taking the roads as they come.

If anyone expresses an interest we can we can figure out when and where to meet.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Geocaching?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Geocaching?

Geocaching is a hi tech treasure hunt. People place caches (treasure) all over the country. Then post the coordinates on a web site. People download the coords into a GPSr and find the treasure.

I enjoy finding the country caches on my bike.

Very cool! Now I just need to save my pennies for a GPS (sounds like a good excuse)

Kids love to go along and "trade" treasure.
