We're usually so busy when we're on vacation that we can't take the time to look up caches in the places we're visiting. But for this latest trip (just in case, you know) I looked up and printed out information on 10 caches each in St. George, Murray, and Springville. Although we weren't able to use the ones in Murray and Springville, we did end up with a free morning in St. George. It had to be a morning because you really don't want to be geocaching in 110 degree weather. Even 80 degrees was a little risky as the caches might be hiding near metal that can easily burn at such temperatures.
We found this little guy in a cache location close to our hotel. Finding six others led us to some delightful shops including a camping supply place where we picked up a camp shower and a couple of extra tents "just in case".
Now that wireless access to the Internet is becoming so common at hotels and motels, we might be able to just haul a laptop computer around and not print out all the potential cache's until we need them. It's even becoming routine for some geocachers to download information into their cell phones or wireless equipped GPS devices. I'm not quite there yet.

Two of my coworkers already have iphones. I think the GPS on them is as yet unactivated, but other than that I think they can do the whole thing on their own. Pretty impressive device for the low price of your firstborn and a security deposit of your second.
