Geocaching?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

My brother in Alaska actually purchased a small GPS unit in order to take up geocaching. It's pretty big there, as something to get you out and about during the short hospitable season. A cool aspect is that items are often in areas that are snowed over for much of the year, so the cache really is hidden a lot of the time. They've taken the kids on a few trips and they seem to be enjoying it. Of course most anywhere you go in Alaska is bloody gorgeous so no matter what, just having a look around is a neat way to spend your day.
