So, when I heard about geocaching of the first time, I was amazed that containers full of small items were littered practically all across the globe. I went and did a little bit of research, and decided that I should go and find some geocaches. I successfully found some and had a lot of fun finding the geocaches. So I did a little bit more research and found that there was also a system called travel bugs.

Travel bugs are little dog tags that have a code written on them that go in geocaches for people to find. When found, the person who found the travel bug enters the code into the geocaching website and it tracks where the bug has been. Afterwards you put the travel bug in a new geocache. So I bought a travel bug and put it in a geocache near me. And sure enough, a week later somebody took it and dropped it in a new cache. Except when I looked up its new location, it was in Austria! It’s still an active travel bug and has moved to 20 different locations in Austria since I put it in Austin.

Geocaching is fun and I recommend it to everyone!
