What is Geocaching?
Geocaching is an outdoor adventure activity for users of global positioning
systems (GPS). Individuals and organizations set up geocaches (caches) all over
the world and share their locations, often through the Internet. GPS users can
then find the caches through published coordinates and site descriptions. Most
commonly, a geocache is an object or container holding small objects for
exchange. The finder may remove the enclosed "prize" and leave another, sign a
logbook, or utilize a number of variations. |
