Geocaching has become the number 1 outdoor activity of team Bankras. A GPS unit is used in this popular new sport to search for hidden treasures, staches or caches. Travel bugs are small traceable objects that move from cache to cache, when found by geocachers and taken along to be placed in the next stash. Team Bankras has launched two travel bugs: sneakers Walk2C-42 and Walk2C-45 are now in competition to travel the longest distance and make the most stops. Maybe someday a Bankras-cache can be found near N52 18.014 E4 53.762?
Update October 20th, 2007: Details on the first Bankras geocache GC159PX “MiJa-De Bruine Vloot” are available online.

“Your Y chromosome results identify you as a member of haplogroup I, a lineage defined by a genetic marker called M170. This haplogroup is the final destination of a genetic journey that began some 60,000 years ago with an ancient Y chromosome marker called M168. The very widely dispersed M168 marker can be traced so a single individual – Eurasian Adam. This African man, who lived some 31,000 to 79,000 years ago, is the common ancestor of every non-African person living today.” More results from The Genographic Project will (soon) be placed on the Genography page.
