Geocaching: GPS scavenger hunting

For those of you that know, I was really big on geocaching about 3 or 4 years ago. It's where you go on a website and find the longitude and latitude coordinates for a geocache. You use a GPS receiver (like my Garmin Venture) to find the location, and it will be a box or something full of stuff. You take something out of the box, and put something in to replace it.

I actually placed a geocache in downtown Toronto, and it's still being visited. It's called Theory and Practice. People really seem to like the location. This geocache is virtual, meaning it's not really a box, but it is an object that you find using your GPS. It's actually so popular that someone actually created another geocache in New York State that's kind of related to my geocache. It's called Theory and Practice NYS
