geocache

GPS treasure hunt

A geocache is a hidden container placed at specific GPS coordinates for others to find using a handheld GPS device or smartphone app.

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity where participants navigate to locations, find the cache, sign a logbook inside, and often trade small trinkets.

We found a geocache hidden under a fake rock near the trailhead.
