What is geocaching.
Geocaching is a popular activity where participants use GPS coordinates and clues to find hidden containers or 'caches' placed in various locations around the world. The caches can vary in size and content, from small boxes to larger containers with logbooks and sometimes even treasures or other surprises.
Geocaching is a fun way to be outdoors and discover new places, while also providing a challenge to solve puzzles and decipher clues to find the caches. It has become a popular hobby with even entire families heading out to find caches.
