Have you ever geocached? It was more fun when it was
more geeky... Today you just need a smart phone. Back
then you needed a handheld GPS and you either had to
enter the coordinates by hand or with a download and
a data cable to your GPS (I ordered a pastic endpiece
that would fit our Garmin Yellow and made a serial cable,
then got a USB to serial adapter), go out and find it,
then finally log the find when you got back home.
I'm not one of these hipsters that wishes it was still
elite or anything - I'm glad more people are enjoying
it and it's more accessable to the public, but there
was a certain charm back then... You were an actual
hobbyist and not just 'using another app.'
