This is the official website according to them of Geocachong. It isGlobal GPS Cache Hunt Site. http://www.geocaching.com/ It has a link on the website that answers Frequently asked questions. This is where I went to find out what Geocahing was exactly http://www.geocaching.com/faq/
Basically individuals and/or organization leave a cache(treasure) at a particular location and then share this information with other participants via the internet. Then the participants utilize there GPS systems to locate the particular caches. Once they find the cache, they are asked to leave something in its place. Though finding the location may be simple once you arrive at that location finding the cache might be a bit more difficult and for most geocachers this is where the fun of the adventure begins.
Look at the FAQ link to find out more about this interesting exploration

I love the way you designed your blog and how you incorporated surveys!!! I just might have to try the survey function in my own blog in the next couple of weeks! :)
Geocaching sounds very cool and is something I have never heard of before. I wonder how far people travel to find others' caches. It would be a cool way to see the nation (or the world if you had the money!). As I read about this game/ sport, I realized that I need more adventure in my own life!
I wonder if classrooms and libraries have gotten involved yet. I look forward to more information over the course of the semester!
I have actually participated in geocaching and it is quite fun. If you live in the Syracuse area, Green Lakes State? Park has some geocaching sites. I know the local cub and boy scouts are frequent visitors to the caches.
I look forward to learning more about this fun adventure.
I am glad that someone eve voted in my survey :-) I agree that geocaching certainly does sounds adventurous. I know that a lot of boy scout clubs have gotten involved in this sport as a wasy to incorporate the outdooors with the scouting part.
