Maps#34 Geocoding and Geocaching

The zip code I chose was 77450, near our branch. Mother's Day : Baby Cinco is the location I chose and here are the coordinates: N 29° 44.463 W 095° 45.185
I don't own a GPS unit, but my daughter does so it might be fun to create our own geocaches...especially as my grandson gets older and can learn how to use the unit.
Here's the URL for a site in an area closer to where I live that I might investigate some time
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=89bac9ed-4530-4350-8c7d-c3b21a82c8eb
Coordinates: N 29° 50.176 W 095° 43.023
I like being able to access the satellite image to help see what I would be facing in my search.
I'm not sure I would do geocaching unless I had several people with me, but it sounds like it would be fun with a community of friends. Games have reached a level beyond what I could have imagined. This sounds like fun with the right people and the right PRIZES!!
(while doing spell check the word geocaching came up and there was no option for correction)
