What is geocaching?

This post is just going to show you the basics of geocaching.

If you don't know what geocaching is, it is an outdoor sport or game of searching for hidden objects by using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates posted on the internet.

It is a high-tech treasure hunt in which small objects are stored in a waterproof container ("geocache") that can be located in the wilderness or in a public venue; usually not in public view. For more information on geocaching, click here to go to my geocaching blog.

Below is the official Groundspeak video from YouTube: 'What is Geocaching?'

It is just under 2 minutes long, and explains geocaching simply, covering most areas and making geocaching simple.

If you haven't geocached before I really recommend watching this as it is very easy to understand and shows you how fun geocaching is.

Hope you enjoy it and are now interested in geocaching - I love it!
