Geocaching isn't a new sport - it's been around for nearly 14 years.
If you enjoy treasure hunts and trying to beat your opponents to get to it, this is definitely the hobby for you and your family!!
Geocaching involves finding hidden containers called "caches" or geocaches anywhere in the world.
Caches are waterproof containers that would contain at least a logbook and a pencil or a pen in it along with some small trinkets or souvenirs of very low monetary value.
These are hidden by "geocachers", who will then post their latitude and longitude coordinates along with other information on a listing site.
Other geocachers will obtain this information from the listing site and try to find the cache using handheld GPS devices.
When you find the cache, you enter the date, sign it and return the cache to its hidden location for the next treasure hunter to discover.

It's that simple for the most part.
