I used to do that. It is pretty fun. Gets you outside hiking through the woods and stuff. Have you checked out http://www.geocaching.com ? I had a Garmin Etrex (the yellow one), they are pretty cheap like $99 but it does the job. Anyways, it's fun to create your own cache and have people find it. I made one with CD's and stuff in it.

Sounds fun, if you can get enough people involved in the hunts.

www.geocaching.com has a huge list of caches, many of which are local. If I can find a usable GPS device, you can BET I'll go exploring. Sounds like an awesome summertime activity.

Good luck man
I was introduced to the concept by a lady at work... I have yet to go, because I don't have GPS, but she's gonna let me borrow hers... The tracking bugs on that site are pretty cool, she sent out a "squidward stamper" (that's what its listed under, if you want to see it) figure with a tracking bug... it made it from Wisconsin down to Florida, Cayman Islands... There are pictures of it underwater in the ocean and stuff...
Looks to be a lot of fun... I'm excited
