Geocaching

After an unsuccessful attempt at locating the geocache outside of Machu Picchu, it was decided that we would create our own geocache within Cuzco. For those of you that have not heard of geocaching, geocaching.com describes it as, "...an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache." It was a sad day since this would mean that I would once and for all be saying goodbye to Senor Cedric. From the beginning I knew our time together would be short. He is a traveling gnome. I wrapped him in his little wrap sack along with a note instructing his next owner on how to access his blog. I placed him within a protective Gladware container and dropped it into the pail. I look forward to hearing from him soon. For those of you interested in tracking Senor Cedric, the following is his blog address: http://senorcedric.blogspot.com/
