To set up a free geocaching account, go to: http://www.geocaching.com/ This is a great family activity. The only down fall is that you do need a GPS but you can find a decent 2nd hand one for around $50-60. For a second hand one try http://www.kijiji.com/ and then type Fredericton (for our area) and look under computers. If you go to www.GPScentral.com you can also find some great deals on GPS units. ENJOY and Happy geocaching! media type="youtube" key="JlF_DIRl-z4" height="344" width="425"
