Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site

"Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment."

 * "IF you've ever tried to explain geocaching to someone, you know how easy it is for them to misunderstand or get confused about the details. If you've found yourself talking to a land manager you know how easy it is for them to hear only part of what you say. The fact is, simply communicating verbally gives you one shot to get all the information you need to your audience and your effectiveness is completely limited to their ability to pay attention."
