Geocaching

   So today I had my first experience of geocaching.

Geocaching : The recreational activity of hunting for and finding a hidden object by means of GPS coordinates posted on a website.

   I was first introduced to geocaching by my chemistry teacher, M Verrier, who is fascinated by it and is very active in the geocaching community! He's talked about it and showed us many clips and even got me to make an account on www.geocaching.com. Except I have one problem : I don't have a GPS. So it is very difficult to geocache without a GPS, trust me.
   Luckely for me, today we went with our chemistry class! It was a very hot day out and it was fun! We did one cache with the group and then we split into smaller ones. I was with Jacques deMoissac and Denis Bosc. It was fun and we managed to find four, including the group one. We could have found five, but one was missing and due to that, we got back to class late...
   After all this, geocaching is fun, but I don't think I'll be as serious about it as my teacher. I mostly like the outdoors factor and being with friends. I might get the app on my iPhone, when I get it, and from time to time find a few.
