Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, 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. After signing the log, the cache must be placed back exactly where the person found it. 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 financial value, although sometimes they are sentimental. Geocaching shares many aspects with benchmarking, trigpointing, orienteering, treasure-hunting, letterboxing, and way marking.
- The rules of how to set one up is:
- You must have a chest with a log book (a book and quill)
- You can not bury the chests to hide them ( but you can have them covered and still be able to get to and open)
- Have a FTF prize (FTF= First To Find)
- Post the cords here
- Post how hard it is to get too from 1-to-5
-Say if you need to have fly to get to the cache
-Finding A Geocache
- Use the cords to find the Cache
- Sign the Log Book (put your in game name and the date you found it) and tell about your experience finding it, then place it back in the chest
- If you are the FTF there might be a prize for you. If you want to you can take the prize
- If you take something leave something of the same value or a grater value.
- Leave no trace ( if you place blocks to get to them, then get rid of the blocks after you get the cache.
- And have fun!
