Between Using Maps and Cardinal directions - posted from Portland, OR

I am sure many of you do Geocaching and love it, but for the ones who doesn't know about it, is an app where you can find treasures that other participant hide everywhere around your city. You can search in their map where are the places and they give you hints of how to find them. When you're getting close, the use of a compass, included in the app, is very useful. So you learn how to read maps, have fun outdoors, discover new places, use a compass and if you find the treasure, sometimes is a box full of surprises, you can exchange items, so get ready and bring small smile things that you want to share, also don't forget a pen, because you will be asked to fill the log notebook. Here is the link to the app site
