Last weekend my brother and me went Geocaching.......we have been Geocaching for probably about 5+ years now.....we both have the exact same GPS.....all you do is plug the coordinates into the GPS and fallow the GPS to the cache..then once you find it you can take something from the container but you have to leave something in it's place and sign the log book or you can leave and take nothing and just sign the log book.....kinda like a scavenger hunt.....it's fun for hikers and just being out haveing a good time with bro.

Here is a link to the site to better understand how it all works

We found another Cache.......we found 4 cache's that day.....i was takeing the pics....these are pics of bro at the cache and at the dam......yes we look alot alike

Here is a picture of the dam at Kanopolis Lake.......they was sure letting alot of water out that day

Here is a pic of the spillway

Cool Scoot, great way to spend time with your brother!
That sure looks like fun, thanks for the link.

What did you pull and leave from it? Or did you just sign the book?

I got my new GPS Friday.....now i'm ready to do some major Geocaching this spring and summer....it's also good to have a GPS for prospecting to help locate deposits. .......i just got done watching the news and there was a story about Kansas Geocaching so i decided to update this part of the forum and show off my new GPS. Here is a picture of my Geocaching kit.....just consists of a GPS, a log book and odds and ends (toys i no longer need).....also below is the news story i saw on tv.....the video is to the right of the story....also a link to my GPS....this GPS is much better then my old one...this one has Topo mapping and is made for Geocaching ....Denise i'm not sure what we took or left that day....been too long ago

Today dad and i went to Larned to see grandma and grandpa Ross and i took my geocaching stuff along......first we hit a cache outside of Larned right by a historic sign and i found that cache...it was a mico cache in one of those lil metal keychain containers, only thing in it was a scroll like log rolled up in a lil vial...i was going to sign it but i would of had to write really small..lol..i did sign the log for it on the geocache website. For the 2nd cache we had to go back toward Larned and go right by the river, had to walk aways and look around in the forest alil but i found it and showed dad this cache.....lol. Dad took a pic with my phone (pic below)....seeings this was the first reg. cache with this new GPS i left a cool toy...i left a red flashing skull keychain (toy is in the pic above to the right of the camo bag and above the batteries) and i took a wooden nickel from this cache..i also logged this on the website too.....it was a fun day and got to try out the new GPS and it did a great job.

From Nettleton i made my way to Kinsley to hit this cache. Thanks for the hunt........Took: Sea Life Bag....Left: Dalmatian Dog bubble gum machine toy.....it's cool to know someone that placed a cache and then find it :)
