Searching Talk about odd, little-known hobbies. Apparently there is a fairly popular pastime referred to as GeoCaching where people hide small waterproof boxes in outdoor locations, record the location via GPS, then post the information on a web site for others to hunt for it. Kind of like a global Easter Egg Hunt. I guess the Handhelp GPS manufacturers see it as a great way to sell more product. Sounds arcane, but there are caches hidden all over the United States, as well as in 82 other countries. There's even one less than half a mile from my apartment, in the middle of metro Boston.
