What is Geocaching?
Geocaching is an increasingly popular, inclusive, fun and healthy pastime for individuals of all ages. It is also great for groups like families, friends, classes and youth groups working as teams. The core of the sport consists of using a
handheld GPS receiver unit to guide you to a destination, where a
hidden container (or "cache") is stored. Geocachers are free to take objects from the cache in exchange for leaving something of similar or higher value, so there is
treasure for the next person to find.
Typical cache treasures are not high in monetary value but may hold personal value to the finder. Aside from the logbook, common cache contents are unusual coins, small toys, ornamental buttons, CDs, or books. Also common are objects that are moved from cache to cache, such as "
Travelbugs" or "
Geocoins", whose travels may be logged and followed online. Cachers who initially place a Travel Bug or Geocoin often assign specific goals for their trackable items. One such goal could be to pass it westward across the continent.
