Geocaching
Geocaching
Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. A cache (container) contains a logbook and may contain treasures. Remember, if you take something, leave something of equal or greater value in return. The only necessities are a GPS device or a GPS-enabled mobile phone so that you can navigate to the cache, and a geocache membership (free version available).
