Hop on in for a morning get-together and a hearty breakfast to welcome Southern Nevada's first GeoRally. For those that get to the event early, there is a special menu and a price break for all attendees. After breakfast, you have a few options:

1) Go home and back to bed—hey, it’s Saturday, we all like to sleep in!
2) Make your own caching trip—hey, it’s Saturday, some of us like to get an early start!
3) Participate in the Vegas Valley GeoRally—hey, some of us like to try new things!

The proliferation of handheld GPS units has resulted in a geocaching craze. If you’re not familiar with the sport, here’s the scoop. People venture out with GPS devices and look for containers hidden in the great outdoors by other geocachers. Once found, you jot your name in the logbook, put the container back where you found it, and go find another. Think of it as a pumped-up version of the treasure hunts we used to go on as kids.

Since iPhones come equipped with GPS capabilities, it’s no surprise there’s been a recent jump in geocaching apps and tools available in the App Store, many of which nicely complement the open source geocaching apps already available for your computer. There are dozens of iPhone apps to choose from, but here are eleven good ones to get you started. Happy hunting!
