What is geocaching, how to find them, and why it's fun to go exploring for them!

Physical geocaches often consist of:
-Waterproof container
-Log book w/ pen or pencil
-Trade items or trackables

There are now over 2.8 million geocaches in over 180 countries...plus GC1BE91 on the International Space Station.

About the items in the cache:
-They are NOT "prizes" unless otherwise specified
-When trading items, trade equal or up
-Don't leave food because it attracts animals

Trackables move from cache to cache
-Only take one if you know what to do with it. Some have specific goals.
-Can be tracked at Geocaching.com
