The Biggest Hunt in the World

Over the weekend some new friends of ours, Rob and Liz, took us geocaching. Geocaching is an activity that can be done all around the world. To geocache, you have to have a GPS device that you can punch coordinates into (you look up coordinates through the geocaching website). The coordinates will take you to a hidden box that has little items in it and a log book to state "I was here". The neat part about geocaching is it takes you to places that you might never go to or find on your own.

Our first box was located under a bridge located up high on a hill. We followed the bridge that led to a little park. The park was located in the most random place - up on this high hill, between two major roads, and surrounded by buildings. Normally, we'd miss a park like this, but through geocaching, we got to experience it. Here's some photos of getting the first box:

We decided to look for another box, since this one seemed pretty easy to find. The second hunt took us to Maeda Point, but instead of going to the regular diving/snorkeling area, the coordinates led us to a beach that was further down. Here of some shots...isn't it beautiful??

The problem we ran into was that the box seemed to be planted up high on the coral rock. So, the boys decided it was worth the risk and climbed the rocks to try to find the box. It proved a challenge...but for only a moment.

The boys did find the box. Here is a photo of their find and a photo that Noa took looking down from the rock.

Can't wait for the next adventure!
