What is Geocaching? (according to
geocaching.com)
"Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for
gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way
to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability
of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and
organizations set up caches all over the world and share
the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users
can then use the location coordinates to find the caches.
Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide
variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is
if they get something they should try to leave something
for the cache. As of today, there are 36696 active caches
in 152 countries."
If you enjoy searching for them go to Geocaching.com
to get more information on where to find them, what you
need to use, and many more questions.
