Geocaching
is 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.
