You say you want an adventure but don't know where to start? Have you heard about GEOCACHING? I never had until a friend told me about it (thanks Judy!). Well basically it is a worldwide treasure hunt. People (and even you) can hide something anywhere you want post it on the geochaching website and then others try to find it using GPS coordinates (have a smart phone will travel). They can range from very easy to quit difficult hunts. Once you have done your best "Balboa adventure" and found the geocache, enter your results on the website. Then it's off on your next adventure. It is amazing how many of these hidden gems are just around the corner in your own neighborhood. You can take day, weekend trips or even whole vacations around these. It is a great way to explore areas in a whole new way and see things that you may never have seen before.
