JaTochNietDan briefly described geocaching with this wiki link
You can get some information from it there, if any of you are interested in Geocaching and looking for items hidden near your house then check out this website 
http://www.geocaching.com/
This works all over the world from the Antarctic to US, UK, Russia, China blah blah. You can do this wherever you live
All you have to do is visit the website mentioned above and register at their site, from there you can enter your post code, which will find the nearest Geocache to your house. Once you have found the nearest one you can send the GPS location to your phone or a GPS itself. You go out for a walk or drive if you are lazy, and find the hidden Geocache. The people who hide the Geocache normally hide it good, meaning it can be up a tree, by the roots of a tree or in a pole (These are the most common).
A geocache normally looks like a small tube or a nano little screw size tube. They can vary in size.
Some can even be in box's, now remember they aren't just sitting there in a tree, otherwise anyone could just grab it and take it.
These can also be incredibly hard like this one:
This is a nano geocache hidden in a piece of wood.
Also please read the rules on the geocache website as you cant just take the box
Has anyone done this before?

It's a worldwide GPS treasure hunting game, they often require you to solve riddles and stuff in order to actually find the cache (treasure). |
