So, I'm reading this book. The book is not all that compelling, just one of those "something to read" kind of crime/mystery sort of books--I call them "eye candy" books. Enjoyable, but gone quickly, and you won't remember much about it.
Anyway--in the book, the main character's hobby is geocaching, and the book's mystery is centered around the activity.
And that got me thinking: I wonder if I would enjoy geocaching? So I looked at one of the websites, and even signed up (so that I could see if there were any geocaches close to me that seemed fairly easy to start with). There are 4-5 different ones within walking distance of my house, and many more that might make interesting lunchtime adventures at work.
But--I'd love to hear from someone who actually does it. Because it partly seems like it might be fun looking for little boxes everywhere, and it partly sounds like a completely pointless way to fill my time when I could be...you know, trying to find a cure for cancer or something.
So, if you geocache, tell me why and give me some tips on getting started!
