Ok, when does the outside rambling type person meet the geeky GPS type of person?? When you start GEOcaching…

Geocaching is new kind of pass time for GPS users who kind of want to use their GPS for something more than finding the local chip shop.

The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on websites. thankfully it doesnt seem to be ‘just’ a American thing… there are caches over here in the UK too!!

So how does it work? Well in simple terms, you get a GPS position from a website like GeoCaching.com and go hunt the cache. Once found, a cache may provide you with a wide variety of rewards. All the finder is asked to do is if they get something, they should try to leave something for the cache.

So what’s the big deal? You have the coordinates so you know where it is. Seems pretty easy. Apparently it is deceptively easy. It’s one thing to see where an item is, it’s a totally different story to actually get there.

So, heres a question… I quite like the painting below..

The question is.. who did it ? whos it by ? I actually know, but i’m trying to test the (few) readers here…

I’d like to know if you know who painted it… and where it currently is hanging..
