geocaching
Coordinate treasure hunting
Geocaching is an outdoor activity where participants use GPS coordinates to find hidden containers called caches.
The containers typically hold a logbook and small trinkets; finders sign the log and may trade items.
The sport combines hiking with treasure hunting: We spent the afternoon geocaching in the state park.
Caches range from tiny magnetic containers in urban settings to large ammo boxes in remote wilderness.
