Geocashing and MINI anyone?

I received a new GPS for Christmas this year and have started looking into geocashing. Is there anyone out there that is combining their love of motoring with their love of the outdoors and specifically geocashing? It seems like it would be a nice way to motor to different areas. It also seems that geocashers are almost as obsessed as MINI owners.

Welcome to the MINI/GeoCaching Club. My kids and I have a blast.

Hmmmm..... I've heard of it once or twice, but couldn't remember what it was when I read your post. ...did a quick Google..... NEATO! I will have to do some more reading about this. It sounds like something I could get hooked on!

I've been geocaching for about a year and a half. At first it was a bit of an obsession, but now I mostly use geocaching as a very useful travel/hiking guide. I check the geocaching site for caches in the areas I might be visiting and can find some really neat places to see that I would not otherwise ever find.

MINI's make great cachemobiles!

I tried a search for this topic with no luck...sorry about the new thread. Thanks for the links.

I think I will go MINIcashing at the Dragon this year.

I think one of the best things about this hobby is I'm getting more familiar with all the bells and whistles on my new toy.

No problem - it's the spelling: caching, as in digging up caches left by others.

Try starting up a thread in the Dragon '06 forum - I bet you'll get some interest!

Yes It is kinda late but I understand that there are two cache sites on the Dragon.
