Geek Hide And Seek

Please stop questioning my sanity, yes I am posting up a picture of a long dead tree stump. There is a story behind this stump. It use to house a little Geocache. I discovered it by accident about a year ago during the rubbish run. Geocaching is a game that I call Geek Hide and Seek, as you require technology to find the treasure. I have never done it myself, but I know a little about it. One of the relatives I stayed with while I was on holiday in the UK did this as a hobby. In its simplest version you log onto one of the geocaching websites and get a series of co-ordinates, you plug these into a gps and then try to find the cache. So its like a treasure hunt I guess. There are other versions, such as one that requires you to find clues, or locate the co-ordinates from numbers on signs, plaques, etc in the local area. Ultimately you try to find the cache and leave a little note in the logbook and sometimes swap an item for one of the treasures inside. I dont know what sort this one was, but it has since been removed (hence the reason I can now post a picture of it online). I enjoyed it because if we were having a lazy day, I could stop on the rubbish run and read the little entries in the logbook (its surprising how many overseas visitors put entries into the book) and watch the toys change in the little container. I really do miss it sometimes.
