Geocaching

Geocaching website

Geocaching is an outdoor activity where global positioning systems are used to hide and find "geocaches" or "chaches" anywhere in the world.  For the most part, the "chaches" are usually small waterproof containers used to store a list or log books to sign or some kind of symbol you can duplicate.  Some even contain trading items.  You use coordinates that are given to you to find the exact location of the hidden items.  There are currently over 100 countries on all seven continents participating in this sport.  After only 10 years there are over 1.2 million active geocachers.
