While in Banff, we have been doing some Geocaching.  Geocaching is an activity that involves using GPS to find caches hidden around the world.  So far we have found 5.  Looking for these caches has taken us to places we probably wouldn’t have gone otherwise.  We saw the Bow Falls on the Bow River and Hoodoos while looking for caches.  We have also purchased the “premium membership” which lets us find EarthCaches, Geocaches without a physical container that highlight a geologic feature in the area.  We are looking forward to trying this out at some point.

This was one of the places a cache was hidden, underneath a garbage can!  The picture at the top is another great hiding place!
