What is GEOCACHING? Geocaching is a global high-tech treasure-hunt in which participants use a combination of online clues and GPS coordinates to find “caches” (hidden containers ranging in size from an ammo box to a bottle cap). The caches are often hidden in unique and interesting places which participants may never have discovered on their own, but some are concealed as mundane objects in plain sight. Currently, there are more than 1 million active participants and approximately 985,000 caches hidden in more than 100 countries. For more information about Geocaching, please visit www.geocaching.com
