Subject: [GeoStL] Bad article on Geocaching in Reader's Digest
This was in the April Reader's Digest in an article "How to Hide Anything" They
really managed to misrepresent the whole thing.
Your Most Prized Possessions
If you want a fun
outdoor hiding place for your valuables without the risk of forgetting
where you hid them, use a GPS device to save the coordinates (it's
called geocaching). Looking to give your heirs some fun after you're
gone? Include the coordinates to a sentimental stash in your will, or
lead your beneficiaries on a treasure hunt by supplying a series of
coordinates to various things you've stowed in different locations.
Never hide anything too valuable, though. Plastic film canisters,
Tupperware containers, and especially ammo boxes (available at
Army-Navy stores) offer the best weather protection. Go to geocaching.com to
learn more.
