Whilst pursuing one of my other hobbies (well, doing some related bits online) I found this ......
http://www.tb-rescue.com/resc_whatisit.php5 (http://www.tb-rescue.com/resc_whatisit.php5)
I was going to do something similar myself, but mine will not be as good so I shall turn my attentions elsewhere for our next attempt.

The video is very well done! Though I have no clue what they're talking about ???
-
Yes the video is great... but what is a geocache ???
-
Very wierd all this, this geocathce what is it ??????????? :hmm: :hmm:

I'm so glad no one else understood either! :lol: I thought maybe I was stupid or something.

My guess : collecting stray bugs and putting htem in their right bio zone ????
I hate bugs , though I am a pacifist and dont kill them , should i see a spider in the house i will of course collect her and let her out in teh garden etc etc ... Reminds me of the movie Ruthless People .... :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Emperor's New Clothes, you know the old story... Oh, never mind! If you have to explain it's not very funny I guess! :-[

Geocaching is a game played by many people around the world. The basic premise is people will hide a cache of something, from a simple coin to cash or anything in between. They record the coordinates for their cache and post them on the web where other geocache people use GPS to try to find the stash. There is literally hundreds of caches all over the world at any one time. Hope that helps. :wave: Cool video by the way!

I know the story :lol:.. but how that related to that bug story here ??? ??? ??? :lol: :lol:
-
i still don't understand the plot... :lol:
thanks for the link anyway, it's indeed very well done :)
-
If i hide a big box full of klickies then in say a remote place in Greece whoever finds it keeps it ???? so what's in for the man who digs the hole and hides something ?? are there any in Greece ?? any buried klickies that is .... :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

I know the story :lol:.. but how that related to that bug story here ??? ??? ??? :lol: :lol:
I spoke up and said I didn't understand, that's all I meant.
Thanks for explaining it, el jefe!
-
And why would I want to leave a cache full of coins or cash for others to find ???
-
It's a community thing. Find a cache, bury a new cache somewhere. Now if they were filled with klickies, I think we'd all be buying a GPS and getting out there. ;D
OK George, I have hidden a cache of 300 Nuremberg Guards in the ruins of the Acropolis. Just kidding Pal! You'd tear that place apart! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why do people collect thousands of 3 inch tall people with perma grins? Because it's fun. I'm not a spokesperson for geocaching or anything. But I think people really like the exploring and buried treasure aspects of it.

Of course... Thats true! :yup:

Acropolis is holy , my ancestors died in Marathon and in so many otehr battles protecting not so much the marples but what it meant and stood for .
Tempting thought though ... for a few sec ( see Lt Data in First Contact after killing the Borg Queen- ' thats a lifetime for an android' )

I know of this game... very interesting, thanks. :wave:

Gosh, this one got going while I wasn't looking.
It's a kind of electronic treasure hunt with the information about the "treasure" on the internet, which you load to your GPS and then go hunt!! El Jefe is absolutely right in his description but to clarify what is hidden in the cache, it's usually something low value to make it worthwhile for children to find ie the sort of plastic toy you would get in a Christmas cracker or in a goody bag, sometimes there are keyrings, erasers, etc. You take out something you like and you replace it with something else. That's for the children anyway, adults are just pleased that they found the cache and were able to sign the log. The cache itself is usually no bigger than an ice cream tub and often as small as a film canister. The minimum they contain is a notebook and pencil for visitors to log their "find". However, many people like to place a "travel bug", which may be a specially minted coin or something of their choosing, which has attached to it a purpose made dog tag with a special tracking number. These items are collected from one cache, and placed in another and travel around that way (they are also known as "hitchhikers".) Each time someone finds and moves one, they log it on the main geocaching website.
As an example, I have sent a small teddy bear keyring, by the name of Isaac the Bear, off on his travels which are logged on a map on the geocaching website). When despatching said bear, I was able to post a photo of him and express where I wanted him to go. I just wanted him to see the world, and if possible, to be photographed with children he spent time with or at interesting places. Since I "released him" in 2008 he's been all over the Czech Republic via Germany and is currently back in Germany. Amongst others, there is a photo of him with the German high speed "ICE" train, and also sitting on top of someone's television during the Royal Wedding.
The point of the little film I showed you is to illustrate the purpose of the website it was posted on ie that sometimes these travel bugs get "stuck", ie they are not moved on from a cache. The idea of that website is for people to log details of a stranded travel bug so that someone local to its hiding place can either check that it is still there and/or move it along a bit.
There are millions of caches worldwide, and there's bound to be one near you! Further details at www.geocaching.com (http://www.geocaching.com)

Excellent stop motion film, but there could have been a better translation for the entire story as it went along.
-
it got me intrigued enough to give it a go !!!!

This is an adorable film!
And what a cool idea to get folks off the sofa and out in the open....where they can get lean against poison ivy growing up a tree trunk, struck by lightening and get bitten by poisonous copperheads, rabid wolves, monstrous mosquitoes, all other kinds of fun critters (at least in our back yard.)
Anyway I loved the film because of the way it showed a family doing something together. Thanks for posting the link! :lol: :lol: :lol:

HaHaHa! Actually I am not....too much yard to take care of and I love my flowers. But we have a lot of wildlife in our neighborhood, so we always have to keep our eyes open. Will have to get some snakes for my garden diorama, and maybe a few deer as they walk through our yard now and then. Cheers!
