I can't believe other hobbies like hunting/golfing/tennis/bowling/nitpicking

Yeah I threw that last one to see if you were paying attention.

What the heck is Geocaching?

Great to meet another hiker on here!!

Geocaching is kind of related to hiking. Basically, you use an app on your iPhone/device to find hidden items in the woods, on a trail, etc. I've never done it before but I've heard that it's growing. Your iPhone app should tell you where people have hidden geocaching items (I think they might be prizes, messages, or notebooks to sign?) and you search for these while on your hike. I wouldn't be surprised if they were even hidden in urban areas, city parks or almost anywhere. Just try googling it as I might not have all the details straight.

Cheers, Rob
