Geocaching is a free real-world outdoor treasure hunt. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using a smartphone or GPS and can then share their experiences online. To learn more about this official site go to geocaching.com.
A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. This so called log book? is basically a long folded or rolled piece of paper. Inside the container are small trinkets of insignificant value, such as coins, or toys. Sometimes the bigger geocaches may be an ammo box or Tupperware, these may contain larger trading trinkets, but still of little value. Geocachers are free to take objects from the cache in exchange for leaving something of similar or higher value.
Sunday afternoon my husband and I went geocaching locally and we located two caches. Here?s a few pics of our successful mission.

If you?ve never heard of geocaching you are probably going to be surprised to learn there are 1,889,549 active geocaches and over 5 million geocachers worldwide. Geocaches are currently placed in over 200 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica, and the International Space Station.
Now you know what geocaching is, if you?re still wondering why, the answer is simple. Why not?
