This thread asks if there are any geocachers in our number. I'm one of those who, with nothing to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon (when the PR has run out) will swamp about looking for little tiny hidden objects on my GPSr.
There's an interesting idea posted by jthompson1995, which they call "extreme pen swap" alluding to the idea that handmade pens could be stashed at locations around the world, their GPS coordinates published and perhaps be swapped out by holidaymaking pen turners.
I'm not sure if I would necessarily want to make this part of www.geocaching.com's game: I've seen a lot of trackable objects go missing and, quite frankly, I don't think the geocachers would quite appreciate the work which goes into some of our pens.
Other folk have tried sucessfully, swapping books, for example just by stashing them and waiting for other folks to collect them. Can anyone se this working with pens or other small turnings? Anyone got any ideas how it might work?
While we're at it, are any more of us geocachers these days?
Oh, and I may as well plug my geocaching coloured pen.
