Learn About Geocaching

Geocaching is an awesome adventure and a great way to spend time as a family.

According to Wikipedia:

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called “geocaches” or “caches”, at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world.

So, basically, geocaching is a fun little treasure hunt with your phone or other GPS device!
