Geocaching
Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, first played in May 2000, [ 2 ] in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers ( Tupperware or similar) or ammunition boxes can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching shares many aspects with benchmarking , trigpointing , orienteering , treasure-hunting , letterboxing , and waymarking . [ edit ] History
