Geo Wizards

We are all about free fun.  Yes, we like our activities to be cheap yet highly entertaining.  Thank goodness for some of our new friends in Kuwait who had time to introduce us to another free activity!!  Last weekend, while strolling on the Arabian Gulf, they told us they are quite into GeoCaching.  Then, as they explained the vocabulary (micros and macros and muggles, anyone?!?), we thought, "Cool, but do they have that in Kuwait?" 

Not even two minutes later we were in a wifi zone using Adam's phone to find that not only is there in fact GeoCaching in Kuwait but one cache was only 1/4 of a mile away from us!!  So, we quickly headed out in search of the loot.  Our friends knew what they were doing and in a mere matter of minutes, we had located the cache, signed the log, and given each other high fives.  Heidi was a litte unsure what the "point" of it all was but like Adam reminded her, it did not cost a cent to participate.  Since there are thousands of caches located all over the middle east, we are certain that this "free fun" (and in turn, our money) will stick around awhile.
Using GPS, we tracked the cache and ended up at this crazy location where Jeff, with skill, quickly found the loot.

Adam was stunned that we actually found it.  Jeff a little more smug.


We quickly formed our team name and then re-placed the treasure.  We like to think of ourselves as Geo Wizards!
