Geocaching

What is this?

Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game that requires only GPS-enabled devices. (For example just an iPhone, or Android Mobile). Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.

Very cool is that everyone can take part in this game! The only requirement is to create an account on the Geocaching community webpage. http://geocaching.com

But I think the coolest thing is that you can play it wherever you are!

Literally everywhere! Even if you live in the small village (like me).

Caches can be hidden almost everywhere (in a tree hollow,

underwater, in the forests, etc.) there is even a Geocache hidden in the space!

It’s hidden in the International Space Station ISS and it’s placed by an

astronaut!

Every green, yellow, blue and red square on this map is a single Geocaching container

(geocache), you can find each one of them, or place new ones!

You can find geocaches with different sizes, there are 4 size categories:

•Micro•Small•Regular•Large

Every Geocache is a bit different.

But they contain almost the same things inside.What things?

•Logbook – a notebook for finders’ signatures.•Pencil – to sign to logbook when you find the cache.•Things to exchange – Things that Geocachers leave in the Cache in order to take with theirselves things already leaved there by others. (This can be really anything, except dangerous things like ammunition, explosives, knives, etc. )

Geocaching is a great way to visit some interesting places!

There are over 2,376,000 active geocaches this and over 6 million geocachers

worldwide.You can become a

geocacher even now, just create an account on the Geocaching website as I wrote at the beginning.Enjoy! I hope you'll

like it!
