ShareDo you love the outdoors? What about playing hide and seek? In today's Web report, Jessica Duff talks about one trend that combines the two for a world-wide treasure hunt.
The phenomenon of geocaching is rising in popularity across the globe. The premise is simple: hide and seek with an item that can be tracked online. Geocaching.com has made it easy to get involved with this current trend.
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.
According to Geocaching.com there are 920,533 active caches worldwide. Once you have found a geocache, sign the logbook and return the geocache to its original location. Afterward, share your geocaching stories and photos online!
Geocaching.com explains the purpose and process of this trend in detail through either a free or premium (paid) membership. With your membership you can begin searching for or even hiding your own geocaches in your area. The website explains how to locate a cache in your area either by city, zip code or even by latitude and longitude.
There are many ways to get involved with geocaching - whether as an avid hunter or casual player. Visit Geocaching.com to find out more!
