This project combines two of my favorite activities, scrapbooking and geocaching. This scrapbook page highlights some of the adventures of our four legged geocaching team member, Britt.
Many members of our family are involved in a game called Geocaching. Geocaching is a world wide outdoor treasure hunting game using a GPS unit. The coordinates are posted on the internet, usually at geocaching.com. The GPS is used for navigating to the coordinates where the participant then tries to locate the hidden geocache. It's a really fun activity. Geocaches are often hidden at a beautiful view point or some other point of interest. Our hunts often lead us to interesting places, historic sites or famous buildings we would otherwise be unaware of. Some geocaches require a hike to reach the cache location. We often geocache in a family group along with all our dogs. Our dogs love it. It's the perfect hobby to combine with camping. We call it geocamping. It's a lot of fun.

| Geocaches are often containers filled with trinkets and small inexpensive items for trading. Cachers are free to trade their own small item for one inside the geocache container. Trading is optional. Each geocache contains it's own log for the cacher to sign. The log is then returned to the cache container. The found cache can also be logged at geocaching.com. |
 |
| Britt has been geocaching with the family for several years. She loves it. She lives for camping & geocaching. She has her own geocache named, 'Britt's Dog Day Afternoon," hidden in a very dog friendly area of Port Orchard, Wa. |
 |
| Ammo cans are often used as geocaching containers. Others, called Nano caches, are really tiny and sometimes hard to spot. |
 |
| Dog parks are a favorite place for geocachers to hide caches. |
