Thanks. Just further proof that my intelligence peaked in high school and is deteriorating every second of the day. I guess the deterioration has now eroded my third grade knowledge. Once it hits 6th grade I won't be able to type any more.

Just a heads up... the seven continents don't include the "arctic". There is no land mass in the arctic, just a bunch of ice. The seven continents are: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, and there are geocaches on all seven. ;)

It is addictive, but I can quit anytime I want to. One aspect that I enjoy is searching near parks and bike trails and then wandering aimlessly through the area exploring. Lots of interesting stuff in this town if you're not going 80 mph down the highway.

geocaching is fun - and addictive - and the caches are interesting to make and hide (beware of trees and lots of cloud cover, though...).

Oh - if you are into photography, be sure to bring your camera along. There are some great photographic opportunities.

My husband and I recently got into geocaching and it's such a fun, cheap weekend activity (it's essentially free once you buy the GPS, which you can find used at pawn shops and on eBay)! We get to spend quality time together outdoors and discover neat corners of Houston we never knew existed!
