Pass the Awesome! An experiment about life and the way it moves me |
Some of you may have heard of this before, some of you have not. For those who haven't it, it is a game. A game that consists of gps tagged caches (or hidden containers) placed by other players pretty much everywhere around the globe. Players find these caches by using a gps device ie. trimble, phone... If you take something from the cache, you leave something else behind. But most contain a small logbook of sorts. Simple really. Fun for adventurous folk!
I decided to pick up where my father left off and went off searching for these today by using an app for the iphone. I Officially logged 3 of them, found maybe 7 or 8. Not a bad start. There are however a literal crap ton of them around. but, most of them are in plain view of houses and or pedestrians (muggles as they are called (think harry potter)). Not only does this take the fun out of the game, but I don't feel like being that creeper crouching in the bushes in someone else's backyard. Just sayin'. On that note, the caches along hiking trails and or in the wilderness are pretty fun to go searching for, and searching for them makes for a great little adventure. Travel bugs are little bar-coded items that are placed in cache, only to be found and then left off in another cache. These travel bugs have been known the travel all over the nation, and overseas. When a person finds a bug and takes it, he or she records on the geocaching website which cache they leave it it. People that find them can keep track of where each has been on a world map. It's pretty neat. Of course having made this blog, my little code name is passtheawesome, or PTA for short. I may be leaving little cards with the blog's name in a few of them sooner or later.
