Geocaching...

 Hi everybody! My name is Karly, and I live in Toms River, NJ and I’m 26 years old. I’m starting this blog to try and help people to get outdoors and or do fun and interesting things. I get sick of sitting indoors and I think it’s better to get outside then to sit on a video game all day and night. I will try and post more than one thing a week but things can get hectic. Please ask me any questions you may have and I’ll be happy to answer you back. First I want to tell everyone about Geocaching, it’s almost like scavenger hunt hikes with boxes that are placed all around the world. You can download the app for free on any smartphone, blackberry or IPhone, it even points out with a compass where you are and how far the cache is from you. It’s a lot of fun There is almost always at least 4-5 in your town. I know that there is at least 20 just in Toms River alone. Today I went to Riverwood Park and hiked for about an half hour, it’s about 2-3 miles so it’s also a great exercise. There are 3 Geocaching sites there, you can visit all 3 or just one if you like, they’re called “Ding dong, ditch” “river in the wood” and “what you need to survive” each site has its own box, some look like army containers, and they have odds and ends in them. You are supposed to take something and leave something. Also sign your name in the little book inside. It’s interesting one of the sites had an entry from 2001 in it. Have fun guys!
