What is geocaching?

I have made a couple posts about our geocaching adventures and have had a couple people ask me what geocaching is. Geocaches are places where people hide containers of things and post the coordinates of the locations on the internet for other to find using their GPS equipment. Geocaching.com has a good description on their home page. It says 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 and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment. The treasures we find are mostly just little trinkets, small toys, key chains etc and something to sign saying we were there. When we find one we take something out and leave something too. The fun mostly is in the hunt and finding the treasure. They are everywhere. Some of the caches are easy to find and some are more difficult. Check it out.
