Geocaching
by J. Robbins
It has been many years since pirates sailed the open seas to search for buried treasure. However, modern day geocachers are taking up where their treasure-loving ancestors left off. Geocaching is an outdoor sport in which participants search for hidden treasures, or caches, using Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Most caches contain logbooks and small items wrapped in waterproof material.
The sport of geocaching is enjoyed in over 100 countries today. Most often, geocaching takes place in urban areas where many people have access to the caches. A geocacher will bury a cache in a strategic location and record the GPS coordinates on a Web site. Other geocachers will then use their own GPS technology to search out the cache. Once the cache is found, they will record their names in the cache's logbook. Geocachers may keep the items in the cache on the condition that they replace them with other items of equal or greater value.
As technology has grown more sophisticated, so has geocaching. One modern twist on the concept of geocaching is webcam caching. Rather than post GPS coordinates, a webcam cacher will post the location of a public access webcam. Other cachers must have their picture taken by the webcam to register their find. Another unique form of geocaching is called a Cache-In, Trash-Out Event, in which geocachers gather to both find caches and clean up the trash in their community. Geocaching is a fun, challenging outdoor sport that provides both excitement and a hint of old-fashioned treasure hunting.
