Geocaching

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. Hunters can search for 3 different types of geocaches:
-Geocoins: Collectible Geocoins come in all shapes and sizes, and can be tracked in the same way as Travel Bugs. Here you can log a geocoin you found, activate a new geocoin, locate geocoins near you, and find out how to create your own.
-Travel Bugs: A Travel Bug is a trackable item that moves from place to place, picking up stories along the way. Here you can add your own story, or live vicariously through each bug's adventures.
-Promotions: From time to time Groundspeak will host various promotions involving trackable items. Here you will find information on all of the past and present promotions involving Geocaching.com Trackables.
