What is Geocaching?

Author Steve Jurvetson
The Name - Geocache
Pronounced "gee-oh-kash“
 Geocaching comes from the terms 'geo' (earth,

geography)
 ‘Caching' (the hiding of a cache).
 If you ‘Goggled’ it you would find many different
versions of the meaning but they all mean the same
thing . . . .
Introduction
Geocaching is an outdoor activity using a Global

Positioning System (GPS) receiver
Participants hide and seek containers, called
“Geocaches" or “Caches", anywhere in the world.
A typical Cache is a small waterproof container
containing a logbook.
Some call it a sport, some a hobby, and some even
other things.  It’s a great family activity that gets you
outdoors to see things that you never thought you
would see.
User: BDK

Important
Information

Caches can be located in the wilderness or in a public

venue, typically not in plain view for all to see.
The GPS coordinates of the Cache are published on
the Geocaching website.
The aim is to locate the Cache, enter your name in
the log book, as well as move objects from one Cache
to the next.
Geocachers share their experiences online.
As of mid-2008, there were more than 600,000
Geocaches around the world!
