Maps #34: Geocoding and Geocaching

1. The geocache I decided to look for is called "Thanks a Million" which I think is closest to where I live. It appears to be in the George Bush Park. Here are the coordiantes: N 29° 44.550 W 095° 43.494

2. Here is the url for the geocache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=5d485d63-9fdb-4b3c-8674-9e64ebeb5bf0

3. I think going on a search for a geocache would be lots of fun but I don't want to do it in the summer heat. Perhaps I could try to find this geocache when it is cooler this fall. Two summers ago my husband took my 14 year old cousin out on their bikes to look for a geocache. It was really too hot for them to go out into the woods on a treasure hunt. They came back very hot, tired & sweaty. Some of the other dangers besides the heat might be insects, snakes, and wild animals.
