I am a big believer in the philosophy that you don't have to spend a ton of money entertaining yourself. And to Dominique, geocaching is so cool! I think a lot of people are going to start catching on to the program since it's a fun activity to do while out on an adventure. I live in the Tucson area and am always looking for new things going on in our town. Thanks for the post Donna!

Geocachers are constantly hiding new caches, so it isn't difficult for us to pick a nearby area, pull up a bunch of caches from www.geocaching.com and take off for the day. We might end up on a hiking trail or a park we haven't visited before...we might end up looking for a batch of caches around a small town and having a post-hunt lunch at a local pub...we might explore some old cemeteries or burial places of local notables...all maybe within an hour or so of home. Other times, we'll just decide we'll make a weekend of it and head out for a special museum show or take the canoe out to a lazy river and float downstream.

Once again, thanks for the adventure. I must say, you are right. You don't have to go away for adventure. In Arkansas, we are surrounded by national parks, historic registers, native american sites, THE OZARKS (not much is better). Two years ago, we went on vacation. We started in Springfield, MO (primarily for Bass Pro), spent a day, left and headed for Branson, MO (shows, scenery, you name it, they have it), then headed to Eureeka Springs, AR, one of my favorite spots. It's an old town full of "stuff". It's in the ozarks and has a lot of old places and bed and breakfast. We prefer scenery over indoor activities. It is not unusual for us to just load up with sandwiches and go driving, right around my boyfriend's home. He lives in the hills, around Spring River, in Arkansas. We love to drive and just look. The wildlife and river are always changing. Me, again! Once again, thanks for the adventure. I must say, you are right. You don’t have to go away for adventure.
