Wk10 Geocaching

I can honestly say I had never heard of this until, again, I started this course. It's just a 21st century/GPS version of hide and seek!!! I notice that the University of Notre Dame libraries in the US describe it as a "popular hobby"!! I can certainly see why it is becoming popular... AND it's the first of our social networking activities that will actually get people off their bums, walking (or hiking) and out into the fresh air!!
Is it something our library could use? I suppose we could set up a simple one for children...it would be a good way and fun way of teaching them where everything is located in a library and how it all works. However, having a group of kids all running around excitedly, trying to look for hidden caches could well backfire!! I think it's definitely something that the City of Mandurah could use to promote the local area (and the Peel Region if done in conjuction with the other shire councils and would probably be best suited to the parks/recreation dept.! If it ever gets the go-ahead though... count me in - it would be fun!!
