How to Get Started in Geocaching

Wednesday July 23, 2008
GPS technology is good for more than just directions. For outdoor fun, try geocaching (pronounce it "geo-cashing"), an adventure game for GPS users. Individuals and organizations around the world create caches and then place cache coordinates on the Internet. Other GPS users visit the caches and sign a guest book, or take an item and leave an item. Caches are often placed in locations that are interesting or difficult to get to. Geocaching is about more than just finding the cache: It's about the challenge of getting there and sharing stories about your adventures online.
