Here is a link to the main site: Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site | and for those that don't have a GPS unit, there is also letterboxing. Same idea but instead of finding the box at a set of coordinates, the instructions are like "Go to the 3rd fence post and walk north for 30 ft." Etc. Some are harder to find than others. It is great fun for the whole family. My boys call it treasure hunting. Here is a north American website that has info: Letterboxing North America

Nana, I have difficulties navigating this site, but I'm a pro at Myspace! It's hard to find someone on myspace unless you have their email address. Go to "search" and put in linzmb2000@yahoo.com. That is my email address, add me and We'll be friends. If anyone else out there has a page and would like to be friends, don't hesitate to add me!! Don't worry, Evil Lin, is only my profile name, not a state of mind. ;) I've written some blogs about my LAP-BAND ® journey so far. Be interseted to see what you think! Hope to hear from you soon:):):):)

Little Rock, Arkansas (my hometown - woo pig sooie!!)
Jonesboro, Arkansas (my husband's hometown - Go Big Red)
OCCUPATION(S): I work in the oil and gas exploration/drilling industry. My official title is "Firm Administrator" which means I wear a lot of hats, but get paid for wearing just one hat.
AVOCATION(S): I'm not sure what an avocation is, but I think it's the same as a hobby. If so, I have very few because I have very little spare time with a full time job, three kids and three dogs. (and my husband is better with the recliner and remote than household husbandry, so let's make that 4 kids) I do have a housekeeper one day a week, which I would hate to do without, but still don't have much time.
I do like to collect frogs (frog prince is my favorite) I like my houseplants and I like to take pictures of my family and pets and frame them in neat collages. I give a lot of those as gifts...just the pix of the kids, not the pets! (as if everyone enjoys looking at my kids as much as I do!! Ha!)
