Geocaching is a technological treasure hunting game played around the world by adventure seekers equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) navigational device. The goal is to locate hidden treasures or containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocachers are people from all walks of life and all ages. A geocacher can either maintain a cache or search for a cache.
