Geocaching is a great way to explore your city and places you visit. Geocaching is where people will hide “caches” which are then located by others who are geocaching. Inside each of these little tiny caches are lists of who has found them and some random trinkets. There are literally thousands of these all over the place. All of these caches are entered into a giant database. The caches also have info about the cache, difficulty of finding it, terrain difficulty, and other relevant facts. Those that don’t know about geocaching are often referred to as muggles by the geocaching folks. It can look a bit odd locating some of these caches located in busy areas of cities. The iPhone has become a great tool to locate caches. There are a few apps out there to help accomplish this. Most are rather pricy so this guide should help you make the right decision for you.
