Geocaching

Geocaching sounds like good fun, almost like orienteering. It's like a high tech treasure hunt using a GPS where you follow coordinates to find a "cache" which leads you onto the next clue and then onwards to a prize at the end. I'm wondering if our library could use it in some way to enthuse older kids and young adults to enjoy a learing experience where they navigate the local area including the three branches of Cockburn libraries and local landmarks thus increasing their awareness of their environment and local landmarks. Young adults like a challenge and the prize could be a nice new technological device!
