Geocaching - Sunday Sensations

I went out geocaching today. It has been so long since I last did that, more than a year and it was really nice. There are a lot of muggles (non-geocachers) around on a Sunday afternoon though, so I had to be careful.

Geocaching is like a treasure hunt, you get a set of coordinates, you type them into your GPS unit and when you get to the destination you try and find a cache with a logbook to sign it.
It is a lot of fun, and it is also a good way of going for a walk. I am not very good at walking around the neighborhood aimlessly, but when I have three caches to find I will gladly walk a couple of kilometers to do so.

Today I actually got caught by a muggle. I was standing with the cache in my hand, trying to be sneaky, when a woman and her 5 y/o daughter walks by. I hadn't even seen them coming.
The girl asks her mom "what's that in her hands mummy" and the mom goes "Oh that's just her lunchbox".
Thank god for people using Tupperware for cachecontainers!

The rest of the day I think I will read, I should really finish my book. I like it a lot, I have just been so busy lately, so all I am going to say is:

"To the comfy chair with a book and a coke!"
