Typically when I have attended JA-SIG conferences in the past I like to take the opportunity to visit the area a day early and participate in one of my hobbies; sea kayaking. As the water will likely be too cold this time of year I was planning on doing one of my other hobbies; Geocaching.

The Twin Cities area is somewhat notable in the geocaching community as it is the home of a geocacher named "King Boreas". He holds the distinction as the person that has the most caches hidden of any in the world (over 1600). I am planning on spending Saturday afternoon looking for a few his and other geocaches. If there are any other geocachers here that are interested in joining me or anyone else that might want to go out for a walk about town and see what the hobby is all about, let me know.
