Geocaching

Geocaching is a GPS based treasure hunting sport. A person hides a cache at a given location and then publishes the exact coordinates on the Internet. Other users may then load these positions into their GPS units and go out and find the cache. Thousands of small containers (geocaches) are hidden all over the world, and their satellite-based GPS coordinates are posted in a database operated by geocaching.com. Geocachers hunt for the caches and post their finds on the geocaching.com website. Geocaches contain trade items like toys and trinkets and also a log-book for geocachers to record their visit. Geocaches are often hidden in parks, at viewpoints, and in other cool places. If you own a GPS and like discovering new places and the added twist of treasure hunting, then you should try Geocaching.
Basically , geocaching goes like this: a weatherproof container (known as a geocache or simply a 'cache') is hidden outside, the location is published on the internet and people go and find it. The location might be close to the sidewalk, at the end of a long hike through rugged terrain, or on a secluded island. You decide where you want to look and how difficult a site you want visit. The caches are typically small waterproof containers such as food storage containers and contain a logbook and small, inexpensive trinkets.Geocachers record their find in the logbook and may take one of the trinkets, providing they also leave something behind. I am fairly new to this but I have found 6 out of 6 here in the Mojave desert..
