Geocaching

Its 2012, and chances are you have a smart phone, be it an Android or Iphone, etc. If you don't then your date might, and if neither of you do, this date might turn out to be a little bit harder for you, but still do-able. Cut to the chase, if I told you that for $10.00 on an Iphone and I believe FREE on an Android (unconfirmed) hand held you could have THOUSANDS of hours of entertainment virtually anywhere in the world. The really cool part, its a world wide scavenger hunt! The main idea is that your smart phone has built in GPS. You sign up on the Geocaching website (www.geocaching.com) and download the app to your phone. You are now able to search for geocaching locations throughout the world by allowing the GPS of your phone to correspond with the GPS mapping from geocaching. People hide small packages anywhere that is accessible and then other people go and find them. Many have something inside which you take and replace with something of your own. The best part, after fronting the $10 to get started, it can be accomplished 100% free!

Craig's Review:

By far one of the coolest THINGS I have ever done, let alone a date, and it really has nothing but positive things going for it. The geocaches are found in all kinds of great places like parks, pathways and around the city. It gets you out of the house for a walk and its FUN! If you have kids, you can also lump this date in with a great activity for the whole family. There is thousands of easily walked paths available for people of all ages to enjoy. Don't believe me, try it out for yourself. We found our first one and I am already addicted to wanting to go out and find more! By far one of my most favourite dates!

Katie's Review:

Well believe it or not Craig doesn't actually work for a geocaching company although he sells it pretty well. I also wonder if I wasn't on the date if Craig would have noticed .....hmmm.
Anyway, I thought it was a great date too. There's something wonderful about being outside in the spring and this turns just a walk outside into something a bit adventurous. It might sound lame, but I also had a feeling of accomplishment at the end of it as well. Like we found something that someone wanted us to find. It was really cool!

Review 5 out of 5 FOR SURE
