| On Tuesday morning I went on a Geocaching trip. Geocaching has been around for a few years where people hide something at a particular geographic grid location and then people try to find it, enter their name in the log, and, potentially trade items (leaving something and taking something). Exchanging cache locations has grown with the internet and the ease of finding caches has increased with the popularity of GPS devices. Above are pictures of the group as the leader lent us portable ruggedized GPS units. One of the caches was in Wildwood Park from the 'Silent Walk'. It entailed following trails and then going cross country as shown above, here and in this video. Below is a picture of the cache. |

| We visited another cache that was a mico cache (which means a small cache, sometimes as small as a one inch capsule. This one was close to a roadside graveyard (shown below) while the cache itself had a tiny log (to fit in the capsule) that was under the larger red container (locked to the tree so that it couldn't be removed). |

| As we got back from the Geocaching trip, they were in the process of demolishing the building next door to the Radford, VA 7-11. I made a video of them demolishing the building with a backhoe and another with the wrecking ball. One of the workers mentioned that his grandmother had worked in the building being torn down before WWII when it was a hospital. The building was built before 1900. |
