What is in a Geocache?
There are a variety of items that might be found in a geocache. Part of what makes geocaching so fun is that you never know what you will find. You might expect to find items like trading cards, keychains, costume jewelry, small toys, etc.
What Should I Bring?
-
- Comfy Shoes
- A Good GPS
- Pencils – just in case you need one to fill out the geocache log book
- Snacks and Water
- Sunscreen
- Bug Spray
Generally, you won’t get wet as we will drop you off on the islands as close as possible to the cache.
What Should I Expect?
When geocaching you will use a GPS to help you get close to the cache, but keep a sharp eye. Geocaches are sometimes challenging to find. They may be hidden in or around structures, logs, rocks, etc. That is what makes it challenging and fun, which is the most imporant thing to expect… to have fun!
What is Geocaching?
Think of geocaching as a treasure hunting game. Geocachers will hide a small container with a log book and small prizes in it. The coordinates of the geocache are recorded and registered on listing sites like geocaching.com. Using the geocaching app others can hunt for and locate the cache. Once it has been found the discoverer records their finding and trades an item of an item in the cache. There are millions of geocaches hidden worldwide.
What does a geocache look like?
Every geocache could be different. Most are small, waterproof containers that are easily hidden outdoors. Common containers are ammo boxes, clear plastic containers, fake rocks, or even mint tins.
