Have you ever heard of Geocaching? Its great fun! Its basically treasures hid all over the world for you to find. True it may not be the most grand things you find... I've found a helicopter, a crayon, and some jewlery. But its the thrill of the catch ya know?
Anyway, we created our own Cache a few months back. I finally found the GPS coordinates to it. I put it up on the geocache site for others to enjoy (But they have to approve it first)...well they have to approve it first... But hey its the most challenging cache in Alabama I'd like to think... it requires at least an hour underground in Huntsville... and we're not talking caves... just follow the GPS coordinates and head down under... you'll find the rest of the instructions there. Ah good times good times... we even have a log in there and treasure... ARRRR MATEY!
Urban Spelunkers enjoy! (And I know there are several out there, I personally trained them!)

Sweet... I'm off to find my GPS, i cant believe someone came up with this idea, kind of like a global scavenger hunt.
Jerm, why dont you give a hint as to the location, and did you leave anything in your Cache, (i.e. loose change, pocket lint, Luke)???

Of course we left treasure! (cheap toys from walmart... The gps cordinates are at the top of the post... once approved they'll be on the geocache site for all to enjoy!
