GeoCaching
Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is an entertaining adventure game for Global Positioning System (GPS) users. Participating in a cache hunt is a great way to learn the features and capability of a GPS unit and explore the great outdoors. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure" that is typically made up of small trinkets. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.
Placing a cache on lands administered by the National Park Service (NPS) is illegal without first obtaining permission. Please contact your local park to obtain a special use permit or inquire about sites designated for geocaching on park property. Help make geocaching an educational and entertaining experience while preserving our environment for future generations of geocachers to come!
