Geocaching
The Ultimate Outdoor Lovers Game Geocaching is called the "high-tech treasure hunting game" that is played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. I personally think of this as the ultimate outdoor lovers activity.
The basic idea is to use a hand-held GPS device to locate hidden containers (geocaches) outdoors and then share your experiences online.
On the Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site you will learn that this is enjoyed by people from all age groups with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.
"Cache In Trash Out" is an ongoing environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geo community. Since 2002 geocachers have been dedicated to cleaning up parks and other cache-friendly places around the world. A fun outdoor date idea that is environmentally friendly. Now that's going green!
Everyone is doing it...
As of April 20, 2009, there are 779,325 active geocaches worldwide.
UPDATE: As of October 4, 2009 that number is 914,274 active geocaches from over 92,000 users around the world.
My wife and I enjoy this together under the team name Geo Techs. We've been doing this since December 2007. Here's our team stat bar...

I have found most people involved in this to be very friendly and willing to lend a hand to newcomers in the game. Early on my wife and I met several experienced players who gave us invaluable tips and support which make this an activity we very much enjoy being involved in.
You'll need a hand-held GPS device and a free membership at geocaching.com to get started. As a date idea, this is perfect for outdoor lovers looking for a fun and creative date idea. Make this date idea sizzle by adding a picnic to your afternoon or evening adventures.
