What is geocaching? Well, it happens to be my new hobby. It is a form of outdoor activity using a GPS device. It’s a form of a treasure hunt which in short goes like this:
1) A geocache owner hides a container (we’ll call it a cache).
2) That owner posts the GPS coordinates on a site www.geocaching.com (this one is the most popular of such sites and has free and premium membership available).
3) Other cachers, like me, then try to find that hidden cache. When we find it, we log our names into the cache, and sometimes exchange items.
There are types of geocaches that we play with. For me, I’m always interested in puzzle cache or unknown cache. This is a type of cache where you’ll have to work your way first to obtain the correct cache coordinates. Then the second part is to embark and find the actual cache.
Like many others, I’m starting to also hide some caches (with puzzles, of course) around the area where I live. Check them out even if you are not a geocacher yet, but a puzzle lover. You can mail me if you think you got the right answer, or just use that validator link posted on the cache page.
