A while back I bought a GPS receiver which I’ve been using on my monthly hikes so that I can geolocate the photos I take. That’s pretty fun, and the GPS itself is cool technology. I’ve also been geocaching<\/a>, which is basically like a worldwide scavenger hunt where you use your GPSr to find “caches” that other people hide. You sign a log book and often swap trade items. It’s great when I travel since it gets me out of my hotel. Plus it’s a nice outdoor family activity, and Truman digs it.<\/p>\n

This week I placed my first cache<\/a>. It’s an admittedly easy find, and it’s been logged a few times already. I think I spotted one of the cachers this morning on the way into the office!<\/p>\n

I was initially going to place this cache under a railroad trestle in Newberg. In fact there are several trestles in town that I thought would be great spots for hiding a cache. As I read further into the rules of geocaching.com (which is the online database that stores the locations of caches), I learned that such placements are prohibited. Between trespassing and danger, there are lots of good reasons for that. I’d still like to get a danger cache placed. Maybe up in a tree or up a rock climb or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
