For those that don't know what they are talking about, like me until a minute ago. It is:
Geocaching is an outdoor sporting activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device[2] and
other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world.It is a derivation of the outdoor
sporting activity of Geotrekking.A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found
it and signs it with their established code name. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers (Tupperware or similar) or ammunition boxes can
also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching is often described as a "game of high-tech hide and seek",
sharing many aspects with benchmarking, trigpointing, orienteering, treasure-hunting, letterboxing, and waymarking.Geocaches are currently placed in
over 100 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica.[3] After almost 12 years of activity there are over 1,639,000
active geocaches published on various websites. There are over 5 million geocachers worldwide.
Sorry guys, but seems like you must have to much time on your hands

Geocaching takes you to some great out of the way places that you never would have known about without Geocaching.
Geocaching started on the 2nd May 2000 to celebrate the US Military turning off the selective availability of the GPS system for civilian use which
made GPS accurate for everyone not just the US military
