Road Troubles
From the Associate Press: CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - State transportation officials say they're finding more and more geocaches in highway rights of way.
A geocache is box containing items of little value. People can find a geocache by looking up its coordinates online and going to those coordinates using global positioning devices.
Highway officials say they're concerned about the safety of people who look for geocaches near roadways. Jeff Goetz, with the Wyoming Department of Transportation, says people looking for geocaches can create a hazard when they park their cars along roads.
He also says those people also can be a distraction for drivers.

We personally do not like geocaches in public places or along highways. We prefer a nice hike in a park. What do you think?
