Introduction

In January of 2010, I was looking at apps on my Blackberry and kept seeing this word Geocaching....I wanted to know what it was so I looked it up. I found out that Geocaching is a worldwide game of hide and seek using GPSr to find containers hidden all over the world and sign the logs. Some of these containers contain trade items, trade items range from little trinkets you get from coin machines at grocery stores to much more expensive items. I have seen disposable cameras, money and toys in caches. However most of the time it’s just a log book and maybe a trackable item like a Travel bug or GeoCoin. These two items are basically the same in function, you put them in a cache someone else picks them up and moves them to another cache and then logs the move on a web site. It is a lot to take in at first butt with just one hunt I was hooked.You need a GPS receiver or GPS enabled phone to cache. And at least a free member account at www.geocaching.com . Once you have these two items you can find your first cache.
