Geocaching

A relatively new outdoor activity, geochaching is a search

for small, waterproof containers full of "treasures". What

makes the search unique is that the containers, called

"caches", are found using the Global Positioning System,

"GPS". Caches are placed anywhere in the world by

participants and their exact geographic coordinates are

published on the Internet. Other participants obtain

the coordinates and other information from the internet and,

using handheld GPS receivers, the find the caches, write

in a logbook contained therein. Geocachers and are free to

take objects from the cache, in exchange for leaving something

in return.

Geocaching is growing rapidly all over the world.
