Geocaching - have you tried it?

What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.

Why Geocache?

One of the allures of geocaching is its universality. Virtually anyone can geocache; participants come from all walks of life and fitness abilities, from kids and entire families to solo adventurers, large groups and the elderly. Perhaps propelled by camaraderie first and sport second, geocaching offers a larger cultural significance as well. Though technology has created a global bridge of sorts, it has also created a divide by segregating interpersonal communication. Geocaching brings people together, bonding them via technology and sport. It is, by all accounts, revolutionary.

To make a long story short Geocaching = a GPS treasure hunt and my kids LOVE it!  I have been using the  Geocaching app on my iPhone for our family treasure hunts.
