Caleb and I spent four hours today doing some geocaching. Put simply, this is a hobby done by people who own a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver and have access to www.geocaching.com. You visit the website, get the coordinates of a "cache" near you, and then use your GPS receiver to go on a "treasure hunt" and visit sites where other people have hidden caches. Inside, they put trinkets for kids to trade and a logbook for the adults to sign, showing they were there. Here, Caleb is holding a "travel bug," which started three years ago in Madison, Wis., and has been moved from cache to cache, including as far away as Hawaii, Alaska and Texas. We're going to drop it off in a cache in Alexandria in a couple of weeks!
