Maps #34: Geocoding and Geocaching

For this exercise I chose to find the coordinates of the Galena Park Library. The coordinates are N29°44.60616, W095°14.19456. (Initially I was looking for the Wings 'N More located on I-10 and Uvalde, but the coordinates didn't match, so I went for option 2.)

The cache around my town that I would like to hunt for is listed below:

N 29° 44.822 W 095° 13.594

I have never really gone on a treasure hunt, and after watching some videos concerning this, I can't help but feel curious about this. I would love to try it, but before I do that I would need to obtain a GPS and find a location to go hunting on. This is a great activity, specially in helping to get kids out of the house and do something other than just sitting around the house and watchign television.
