I’ve Got a Secret…
The "Intro to Geocaching" Series:
- I’ve Got a Secret…
- My Secret Activity, Continued…
- More Clues to my Secret…
I’ve done something mysterious many times during the last week:
- You can’t do it in total darkness;
- It requires batteries;
- It can sometimes be more fun to do it with a partner or a group than by yourself;
- You can’t do it at home, but you can do it while driving a car, riding a bike, rollerblading, or walking;
- People from over 140 countries are probably doing it as you read this;
- According to statistics compiled yesterday, it has been done 15,635 times around the world in the last seven days alone;
- You need Internet access, but not necessarily while doing it — definitely before, and usually after;
- Internet fees aside, your total startup cost can be less than $100;
- It was done for the first time ever during the first week of May 2000 by a guy in the Northwestern United States named Mike;
- It has been featured on television, radio, and in print, covered by everyone from ABC News to NPR to the Wall Street Journal;
- It is fun!
If you know what this mystery activity is, just smile, give a nod and a wink, and pick up some trash while on your way…
