- Geocaching is an exciting
new hobby developed with the advent of GPS (Global Positioning
Satellite) handheld devices. Combining hiking and treasure
hunting, geocaching involves hiking to a set of coordinates
(longitude and latitude) to find a "cache." Caches are
normally left in beautiful locations and contain a log
book and "riches" to trade. If you like an adventure,
geocaching is for you. To learn more about geocaching,
check out the Official
GPS Cache Hunt Site.

- We're known as the Mobile
Mavericks because we travel full-time in our motorhome.
To learn more about our lifestyle, check out our Mobile
Mavericks page.
Geocaching fits perfect with full-timing. It's a great way
to explore new areas and get beyond the "classic" hikes
available in most travel books.
