How about this new sport (?): geocache. Thanks to the improved Global Positioning System (GPS) information now available to people without security clearances, all sorts of new opportunities have been opened up. Like this crazy sport (again: ?) where people hide caches of "stuff" around the planet (often in pretty out of the way, hard to get to places) and then players try to find the stuff. Not really a sport I guess, but sort of interesting. Somebody stop me if you hear I'm getting into this. From the site"Geocaches are already located in many locations around the world. Many thanks go out to the
geocachers that have placed geocaches. It's just as challenging to create a good geocache as it is
to find one. If you find a good geocache and you enjoyed the adventure of the journey to find it, be
sure to thank the geocacher by writing your comments in the logbook or sending them an email.
Geocaching can be a fun and rewarding new sport that welcomes us to the 21st century with
many new adventures."
