Geocache

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook. Larger containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching is most Geocacheoften described as a "game of high-tech hide and seek", sharing many aspects with orienteering, treasure-hunting, and waymarking.
