I live in Tampa and there are hundreds of hidden boxes just in my town. You use your phone GPS app and Geocaching app to find these hidden boxes Every box generally has a log to sign and several items to trade. If you find the box, you sign the log, trade an item and also log your find on the Geocaching app Its a lot of fun https://www.geocaching.com/play/search Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

A car will get you close to a geocach box but You will never find it unless you get out and walk around The 1st one I found directed me to a part of a parking lot I walked around and noticed a street lamp post A bottom part of the lamp post looked a little loose. I lifted it up and found the hidden box Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Sounds fun. I know it has been around since the early spread of GPS devices. What was the trade item in the box you found? |

Various small knick knacks I have some 1 dollar poker chips Been leaving those in the boxes I find if they are big enough. Some are as small as a magnetic key holder. That one was attached to the bottom of a large red box dvd rental Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Cool. I tried to sign up on the link you provided, but the site rejected by email address. Maybe they get a lot of robo sign ups. |
