Yeah, I know. But a lot has happened in Geocaching in the last two years.
- The website is better
- There's at least 50x more caches
- and there everywhere (15 in Basrah, Iraq)
- They now have an iPhone app
- GPS receivers have become more accurate and with more advanced interfaces (interfi?)
You can tell I'm quite the geocacher. It's a grown-up's treasure hunt. Yes, my wife rolls her eyes every time I proclaim I've found another cache but it's too much fun to care.

"Bring out your dead"! (thread, that is)
One part of the "game" has what's called "travel bugs". We just recently placed 6 of these in Vegas with the goal of racing to Atlantic city, and then other gambling mecca's. We also released a bug from South Carolina that is now in Germany.
We were able to cache in 5 states (over 1000 miles) in one day in the Mooney.

It's quite addictive.
