Dani's Geocaching Page

"I use multi-billion dollar military satellite systems to find Tupperware in the woods."

Geocaching is a sport for all age groups and all abilities. The geocaching game consists of 2 parts, hiding a cache, and finding a cache. The hider will use a water-tight container (geocache) and research where to locate it. Once hidden, the hider will take a reading of the co-ordinates from their GPS unit, then create a cache page on a geocaching web site stating what the co-ordinates are and what the rules of that particular cache are. The seeker will find the cache page, and record the co-ordinates in their GPS unit. They will physically seek out the cache using the given co-ordinates. Once found, they will sign the log. Optionally, they can take something from the cache, and leave something in the cache. After the find, they will record it on the cache page of the geocaching web site. The name geocaching is pronounced jE-O-'kash-ing and is derived from the words "Geo" for geography and "Cache" meaning a hiding place especially for concealing and preserving provisions or implements.

1. If you take something from the cache, leave something of equal or greater value.
2. Write about your find in the cache logbook.
3. Log your experience at www.geocaching.com.

The main Geocaching web site is Geocaching.com. On this site you can find everything you need to know about Geocaching. In addition, the local Manitoba Geocaching Association has written some helpful hints for new Geocachers.
