    What is Geocaching?

    It is a real world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS enabled devices. The most commonly used devices are handheld GPS devices and smart phones.

    Geocachers (those geocaching) navigate to a specific set of GPS co-ordinates and attempt to find the hidden geocache container. The cache is within 20-30 feet of the given coordinates.
