Hobbies

I have a few hobbies I thought I'd share with you. One of them is Geocaching. Some of you, probably most of you, don't know what Geocaching is. Well, it's kind of hard to explain. It's hide and seek with different "treasure boxes" throughout the world. You use a gadget called a GPSr (Global Positioning System Reciever). It basically tells you where you are in the world. But Geocaching, you use your GPSr to find these caches hidden everywhere. They have their own website that'll explain it a little better at www.Geocaching.com.



	After you go and check out the Geocaching site, check out our (my dad's and my) travel bug. These are little

things you put on special keychains you can only order from the Geocaching site, and give it a destination if you want and watch it travel. It's really fun. Our's is in Wisconsin right now. That's pretty good so far. It's really exciting to watch your travel bug travel!!


	Another one of my hobbies is Amateur Radio also known as ham radio. That's a bit more harder to explain then Geocaching. You pretty much need a license to talk on certain frequencies on a radio, kind of like a CB, but a CB you don't need a license to operate. I am a licensed ham radio operator. My call sign is KCØMCD. haha My parents call me the McDonald's girl!! ^-^

I guess the only other real hobby that I have is riding my bike. I haven't been able too lately because of the weather. I got my bike for Christmas. The story behind it is funny. My dad went in and asked for a boy's mountain bike. The salesperson asked "Is it for your son?" and my dad replied "No, it's for my daughter," so the salesperson went in back and came back with a girls pink bike. My dad was like "No, I wanted a boy's mountain bike." and the guy says i thought i was for your daughter though," and my dad was like "It is," so he went back and brought back a pretty lime green mountain bike. It's sitting in my garage right now!! ^-^ It's really cool, it has shocks on it and it's not one bit girly. I like it.
