PITTSBURGH (AP) - Steelers star Ben Roethlisberger, the youngest quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl championship, broke his jaw and nose in a motorcycle crash Monday in which he was not wearing a helmet.
Four doctors operated on Roethlisberger for seven hours to treat multiple facial fractures and "all of the fractures were successfully repaired," Dr. Harry W. Sell, chairman of the surgery department at Mercy Hospital, told reporters late Monday night.
Dr. Daniel Pituch, who led the team, said Roethlisberger was in serious but stable condition, and doctors were aware of no other serious injuries.
"His brain, spine, chest and abdomen appear to be without serious injury and there are no other confirmed injuries at this time," he said.

Very sorry to hear that, I got three sons and i cannot think of anything worse to go thru.
I looked at your FReeper page and at the links. Your son is wonderful. What a boy.
Thanks to you and your wife for making such a thoughtful and touching tribute to him.

NO.
Not with such head injuries.
Very sorry to hear that.
Basically people hide "caches" of "treasure" and note the latitude and longitude. Then yuo take GPS unit and try to find it. Once you do you sign a log and swap somethring from the cache.
The cache can be anything, anywhere. Somethimes it's an old ammo box, sometimes a 35mm film canister or whatever. It's then camo'd to blend in with the surroundings.
Lots of times the cache is hiddenin a wooded area, but it can also be in an urban area in plain site. That makes it tricky because you want to get the cache without tipping off non-geocahcers who might destroy the cache.
It's a cool, outdoor activity for the entire family.
Here's a link to one of ours...
