Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates then attempt to find the geocache hidden at that location.”  What does a Geocache look like? “Vary greatly in size and appearance. In the field you will see everything from large, clear plastic containers to film canisters to a fake rock with a secret compartment.”  What is usually in a cache? “Always contains a log book for you to log your find. Sometimes turn the adventure into a true treasure hunt, just remember if you take something leave something of equal value in return.”
