Friend from a web bulletin board on parenting that I've talked with since 1997. She mentioned her family needed to get moving and she had heard of geocaching and they were hooked. I thought it'd be a great idea to get my couch potato son out hiking. Hubby bought me a gps for my birthday in 2006 and we took off. I had heard of it sooner, but quite a bit ago when it still seemed out of reach for the average lay person to own a gps.
