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.
A good, basic GPS unit is the

What are the rules in Geocaching?
Geocaching is a relatively new phenomenon. Therefore, the rules are
very simple:
- 1. Take something from the cache
- 2. Leave something in the cache
- 3. Write about it in the logbook
Where you place a cache is up to you.
