So here's the dealio.
I don't know how many of you, if anyone at all, knows what Geocaching is.
The nutshell version is that it's a game/treasure hunt of sorts using GPS devices. It's fairly fun and something to do on those lazy days when nothing else is going on. Basically, someone hides a container somewhere and uploads the GPS coordinates to this website, and others go trying to find it.
Jeep has been fairly involved in it, being a big outdoors activity. They are running a contest this year where they've sent out these little Toy Jeeps with trackable tags on them. Find one and upload a picture with the current theme. One winner a month wins a top of the line GPS unit, and 1 grand prize winner gets a new jeep.
So I found one, and uploaded a pic with it. Now comes the voting.
However, you do have to register (It's free) with the website to be able to vote.
I'd love it if anyone who was willing to register would vote for my pic. It's kind of a pain I know, so I don't really expect it, but I've gotta ask.
They don't spam at all at least. And hey, who knows, you might find it pretty fun. It is amazing just how many of these things are right under your nose and you've never known about it. :)
So anyways, here's the link to my pic and the voting page. The theme was "No Boundries".

And if you are willing to register and vote for my pic, here's the registration page:

And for the heck of it, if you want to find out just how many of these things are right around you, go to this page, enter in your zip code and see what comes up:

Anyways, if you are willing to take a few moments to register and vote for me, I'd be hugely grateful. If not, I totally understand!
