The sport of geocaching is a sophisticated treasure hunt game using a hand held GPS device which allows you to navigate to a location called a waypoint, where a hidden cache or treasure has been place there by someone. Once a geocacher arrives at this point it is up to him or her to find the hidden cache often using hints provided by the person hiding the cache. The cache can be in any type of container from a small tube type container to a large ammo can or coffee can and is very often hidden under rocks, buried under brush or concealed in someway. Most of the time these caches are hidden in areas accessible by vehicle but will usually require a short {or not so short} hike to the exact location. Caches or hides as they are sometimes called will have a terrain and difficulty rating associated with them. These ratings start at 1 star Terrain Caches which are HANDICAP accessible including wheel chairs and crutches. The range goes up to 5 which are not for the faint of heart. An example of a Terrain/Difficulty 5 cache is Psycho Urban Cache #13. OHV owners often hide caches in remote areas of the world just to add more adventure to the sport. This sport is world wide and growing daily as more folks acquire GPS'r. The sport is for young and old and those who wish to get out and see things they would normally never see . Geocaching can take you to the ends of the world or just in your own back yard. You can chose to start close to home and venture out from there.
