[[Geocaching]] is the free high-tech treasure hunt where you use a [[GPS receiver|GPS]] to find [[geocache]]s hidden by others.
 
It's a great way to be outdoors and enjoy the thrill of the hunt!
 
 
You don't need much to go [[geocaching]].
 
At a minimum, you'll need to:
 
* visit a [[cache listing website]] to find out where the nearby [[geocache]]s are
 
* grab a [[GPS receiver|GPS]]
 
* enter the [[coordinates]] in the [[GPS receiver|GPS]] (or use [[waypoint management software]])
 
* go and [[Finding a cache|find]] the [[cache]]
 
* [[Logging a cache|log]] it online
 
 
We're pleased to see increasing [[media coverage]]!
 
 
If you can't understand the terminology, try the [[Glossary]] or the [[Lexicon]].
