Last week Friday, a group of friends and I went geocaching around the University of Redlands campus. Now I’ve never been a person huge on geocaching. My experience to that point had largely been in the context of scout campouts and all you do is find the coordinate and woohoo, let’s find the next one.

In this case, there was a coordinate given that we had to find, and then a hint (typically related to the area and some riddle that revealed the specific location in the answer). The really cool part about it was that within each object, there was a roll of paper that people signed whenever they had found the geocache. Some of them went as old as 2007. Adding our names to a legacy even as minor as that was really quite cool. Who knows, maybe 10 years from now someone will find it again and see our names on there.

The above photo is near one of the geocaches, in a park right across the street from the university. The afternoon was beautiful and this shot is from a bridge stretching over the creek running through the park. Who knows, maybe we’ll go geocaching again some day.
