I'm just getting started, anyone here ever done it much ?
What is Geocaching? Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.
Most of the people that I know that do it, take their young kids. The kids think it's like going treasure hunting.
There are several geocaches in some wilderness areas near my house. When I brought this up to Darth and some other friends I hike with - they laughed me out of town. I think it sounds great.
