Geocaching

I had never heard of geocaching before this course, so was positively intrigued, but also a little scared. I did orienteering once as a shy pre-teen and it was really awful, so I was wary of something that might bring back memories of that experience.

I cast my fears aside and began reading about geocaching. Wow, it looks like fun. It's like a treasure hunt? I love treasure hunts! Technology used in a way that gets people out and about and away from their computers? Sounds great! There are a few caches hidden in Ellenbrook so it must be something that at least some people in the area know about. I think it would be great to hide a cache in the library as a way of potentially bringing in more patrons.

Sometime in the future I might try it out myself.

  6. Hiding things in the library for people to find -- like really popular books -- does seem like fun.
