If you are looking to get your family outside this spring for a little exercise and fun while using their brains at the same time – give geocaching a try. Geocaching is a sport that is similar to a modern day treasure hunt. However, instead of using an old map and searching for an X, you use a GPS device, a set of coordinates and provided clues to find the booty. While you won’t find a buried treasure chest heaping with gold and jewels, you and your family will find a cache of treats hidden in an eco-friendly hiding space. Sound like fun? Great, grab your kiddos and jump over to Inhabitots to discover the rules, etiquette and how to get started with your first geocaching hunt.

P.S. Eben and I just started geocaching and we are finding it to be super fun! I will share our adventures in a future post.
