		Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world.
		Geocachers are free to take objects from the cache in exchange for leaving something of similar or higher value, so there is treasure for the next person to find.
		Geocaching via GPS was made possible by the removal of selective availability of the Global Positioning System on May 1, 2000.

	A Beginner's Guide and Tutorial to Geocaching A High-Tech Treasure Hunt
		When I explain geocaching to friends the inevitable question is, "Well if the GPS gadget takes you right to where it is, what's the game?" First, the gadget only gets you close -- typically about 15-20 feet away.
		And, the cache is hidden -- either from geocachers to increase the challenge/fun, or to conceal it from muggles.
		People who've been to the cache often leave evidence of the path they took and where they found the cache -- footprints, broken limbs, crushed weeds, deformed shrubs, etc. This opening was a dead giveaway to what would have otherwise been a bear of a route in.
