Adventures in Geocaching


If you haven't tried Geocaching, we'd suggest you find someone you know that has a GPS receiver and try it out. For us, besides the exercise of walking all over creation, a large part of the joy of the game is seeing places, often times very near our home, that we'd never have seen without it. Take the topiary at Old Deaf School Park in downtown Columbus. In the late 80's and early 90's, the topiary was constructed to resemble George Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The surrounding park is beautiful, with lots of tables and benches for lunching and relaxing. You can walk among the topiary (as evidenced by the picture), and even feed the fish in the pond (featuring goldfish the size of my parents' dog, Max). And we'd probably never have visited this cool place without Geocaching.

So, someone who has a GPS like you two, maybe? ;-)
