Catching caches through through geocaching...

I was very impressed with your responses posted on Tuesday. Excellent job! I happen to agree with many of you in that I don't think there is a "correct" way to say something, but we have to train ourselves to be flexible with language so as to best communicate with others. Anywho, in class we learned about different types of maps (and the beef that people have with standard maps) and the elements and components of maps. I know you all have a lot on your plate right now, but respond to the following post:

Check out http://www.geocaching.com Find out what is geocaching. How do people play, what kinds of caches do people hide, find present caches in Senegal. Finally, do you think geocaching has a "useful" purpose or is it merely a game? Can it be used as a tool instead, somehow? Discuss...(and enjoy your weekend)
