Political Geocaching

[benburch]

For those unfamiliar with the wonderful sport of Geochaching, it is the use of clues and a GPS device to find hidden containers bearing small treasures. One chooses one's trinket from the cache, and leaves a trinket behind, and signs the log book. One then seals the container, and hides it again in the same area in which it was found.

See http://www.geocaching.com for details.

What I am proposing for those of you who Geocache is that you obtain a supply of Kerry/Edwards bumperstickers and campaign material, and leave that in the cache as well, with a note letting people know that they can take one in addition to whatever they choose from the cache.

I think this could be a great underground way of building solidarity behind the ticket and helping elect our guys in November.

1. Good Idea. Geocaching rocks.

How long have you been caching and what part of the country? I've been at it for a few years in NJ. It's a great activity for getting out and taking in some nature. I don't seem to go caching as much as I used to.:thumbsup:
