Geocaching...

So my hubby has a new hobby. Geocaching... although they haven't found anything yet, they have had fun trying a few times. Which i believe this hobby goes with the logic of it's half the fun getting there. There are apps for his phone, and blogs and forums giving locations for these said "caches". So here is the definition of it:
Geocaching is an outdoor sporting activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers (tupperware or similar) or ammo boxes can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching is often described as a "game of high-tech hide and seek," sharing many aspects with benchmarking, trigpointing, orienteering, treasure-hunting, letterboxing, and waymarking.

Hubby had some gps coordinates for a couple of them about 30 minutes from here. We drove out and found the coordinates, finally found the container, but it was empty :( Talk about alot of build up for nothing. But the guys had fun looking. Midget and i were a little worried about snakes, as we had just seen a news show about snakes, and had read about snakes in the desert. We waited in the car.. Maybe there is a cache in a nice snake free zone? Midget and some friends went with the dads and looked, and found none but had loads of fun digging. I might just need to go plant one they can find to keep their spirits up :)
A ‘muggle’, in Geocaching terms, is a non-Geocacher, a person not playing the game, and usually not aware of Geocaching. The term is based on ‘muggle’ from the Harry Potter book series by A. K. Rowling which refers to a non-magical person.

The concern with muggles is that they may discover a Geocache, either accidently or by seeing a Geocacher accessing it, and then possibly destroying it. This is referred to as the Geocache being ‘muggled’.
Apparently the muggles get to them...

So there was an empty tube inside the little hole in this barrier in the middle of a desert field.

There was supposed to be one in a pile of rocks on top of that hill, but none :( There was a gecko nest!
