We had to find stations (not much more than a post with a small box) that had hole punches to make unique marks on a ticket to prove we made it to each. That was fun...sort of primitive geocaching I guess.Yup - That's how I learned to read maps and use a compass... I have found 4 geocaches using only orienteering and Google satellite view. I've found 6 others by using Google street view It's even more rewarding not using the GPSr to find them
