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 leave
something for the cache.
The basics of geocashing are simple. You use your GPS unit to find caches
that have been planted through out the world. The popularity of this has
exploded over the past year or so. For example, until recently there were
no caches planted in Tennessee or Alabama at all and now there are quite
a few. Below are just a few pictures from cache hunts I have been on.
