Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment. There are currently 977,256 sites around the world and I found one!
Recently I was in Bonaire scuba diving wth the International Fellowship of Rotarian Scuba Divers. During one afternoon when we were a little worried about our ears and too much diving, we decided to try our hand and find our treasure. What fun! We found the cache, added a little something to it, and saw some amazing caves with ancient Indian drawings. It certainly was not a typical tourist experience.
