The Geochaching Invasion

It happened again! Last year we were surprised when large numbers of people descended on Fremont and after enquiring what they were doing, we were told about Geocaching – neither Alice nor I had heard about it before. To me it seems like hide and seek for adults using GPS devices to find hidden caches.

This year it was on again.  More than 4,000 people showed up – mostly geeky and not very fit looking but they all seemed to be having some fun.

 

I clearly don’t understand this activity as no one seemed in much of a hurry and were leisurely ambling around looking intently at their GPS units.

Never a dull moment in the center of the universe 🙂
