What does Splinterheads and High Tech Hide and Go Seek Games in Surprise AZ have in common?
Sometimes you see people doing funny things that you have to stop and ask, whatcha doing? That's exactly what I asked this afternoon when I saw four adults on their hands and knees, under shrubbery, shaking plants and looking up at Palo Verde trees in Sun City Grand.
They were playing Geocaching (geo-cashing). Geocaching is a high-tech, worl
dwide game of hiding and seeking a treasure. A Geocacher can place a geocache anywhere in the world and it's
location can be pin pointed using a GPS. It's the type of sport that both young and old enjoy. The youngsters look for the toys that are in the geocache. It's the challenge of finding the geocache that adults like.
Once the Geocacher finds the geocache, the Geocacher documents their "unique" name and date that the geocache was located on a slip of paper that is inside of the geocache tube.
Stony Woods and Thin Kerf placed a little toy in the geocache for a child who may find the geocache. The geocache was returned back in its original location.
According to Stony Woods, they found five geocaches today in Surprise Arizona. Evidently, TD Lover, a local Geocacher, has hidden a few geocaches in Sun City Grand and many others throughout the City of Surprise. The group has found over a hundred geocaches in several US states. It's a hide and go seek game that is played worldwide, a game of SURPRISE!
Geocachers even have their own vocabulary, FTF means first to find and Muggle is a non-geocacher. There are a lot of words, phases and acronyms to learn. Oh yes, I'm not going to be a "Spoiler" and say where the geocache was located.
Watch geocaching in action in the soon to be released movie Splinterheads starring Thomas Middleditch, Rachael Taylor and Christopher McDonald.
The game seems to be fun and who knows, you may come to Sun City Grand in Surprise Arizona to find a geocache or two. While in Surprise, stop by and visit me.
