For those unfamiliar with Geocaching, its a treasure hide and seek game using handheld GPS. The treasure can be tokens in a little box with a log book to write your message. You can sign up free with http://www.geocaching.com to participate.
I put up my first cache in Ubin in 2006. The response was encouraging. but soon there were complaints about wild pigs, mozzies and being near ancient gravestones. Being new to the game, the treasure was put in an obvious spot and was soon gone.
I stopped soon after, plotting my next biggest and most convoluted cache for Ubin which this blog was originally created for. I never got round to it. But I am glad to meet a real life geocacher.

If you like to find Albert’s caches in Ubin, make sure you have insect repellents as mosquitoes hiding in the jungle will soon be all over you. Bring at least a mini-button compass with you. Its easy to get lost and wander in circles while the gps vainly tries to lock your location under jungle canopy.
