[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 396843, member: 13090"] LOL... Besides the obvious one I also pistol shoot and trail-hike (though I don't mean to imply I'm a hardcore "backpacker" or anything of that sort), and I like to Geocache so the last two sort conveniently dove-tail. Since I'm sure someone will ask, [URL="http://www.geocaching.com/guide/"]geocaching[/URL] is a sort of high-tech treasure hunt using a hand-held GPS unit and a website. People hide containers (called a "geocaches") of different sizes all over the world and your job is to find a particular container with the help of your GPS. Once you do, you sign the log-book it contains as proof of your find and then post the find on the community website. If the container is large enough there is often fun stuff inside you can take with you (called "swag" or "tradeables") but if you take swag out of a cache, you have to leave some swag inside (this is called "trading").
