Want To Play Hide-and-Go-Seek?
A new game is in vogue. Its real name is Geo-Caching. It is really a modern
game of hide and seek which started several years ago when GPS (Global
Positioning Systems) became available to the general public. People thought it
would be nice to hide treasures at specific locations, recorded by Latitude and
Longitude and challenge others to find them. The concept has not changed but the
increased use and availability of GPS has meant a huge increase in the number of
sites and participants. It is likely that within five km of your home perhaps 10
to 20 geo-cache sites exist.
The key to the sites comes from the internet.
www.eocaching.com is the site I use to
locate sites anywhere in the world. My first sites found were in North Carolina.
We went on vacation near New Bern NC and I decided trying to seek out sites
would be an interesting way of seeing some of the area. I downloaded info for
four sites and we found three of them and did not attempt to look for the
fourth. Three out of three is pretty good. A geo-cache usually consists of a
small box with a notebook to record your find and some trinkets which you may
trade for one which you leave. Now I am ready to try to introduce some of you to
this activity.
In late September I would like to gather with a group of you in High Park to
see what we can find. I know that there are at least four sites hidden in the
park but I need to wait until close to the time of our search to determine the
actual number of sites we will search out. All you need is a desire to go
traipsing around the park, hopefully on a very pleasant day. If you have GPS all
the better but we will work as a group and only one GPS is really needed. If you
have any interest in pursuing this activity either call me at 905.822.3334 and
leave me your name and number or by email at
irwinkelly@rogers.com and when I have
a few names I will contact you to set an appropriate date and time. Looking
forward to hearing from some of you.
