Geocaching as fun as it sounds?

[Nine Milly]

I just stumbled upon geocaching. It looks like quite a few people take up this hobby. Im wondering, is this adult version of electronic hide and seek as fun as it sounds?

lol, sounds dangerous! What is the absolute cheapest way to take up the hobby?

there are several good/inexpensive GPS units on the market now. Any of these will serve you well for geocaching.

You may even find a used one from someone who is looking to "upgrade".

Pick a nearby traditional cache and give it a go !

As far as I know, it looks like this one is the best. I found a lot of them here around kzoo, and also good forums. http://www.geocaching.com/

i've looked at that site before. from what i have seen that is the best too, but i have limited knowledge.

another question to go along with the previous one is, how do i download the waypoints for the caches on that site to my software or gps?
