What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is an outdoors GPS “treasure hunting” game, which began in 2000, where people hide small, waterproof containers, called “Caches,” in various spots all over the world (currently over 100 countries throughout the world.)

Inside the caches you’ll find a piece of paper or notepad (log book) for people who find it to sign, and often times, but not always, trackable items such as “Travel Bugs,” which resemble Military dog tags, and Coins and small toys and trinkets. Once placed, the owner logs the grid coordinates on the official Geocaching site so others can find them, enjoy the location, log their visit and possibly trade some small items.
