Geocaching is an exciting hobby where participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other traditional navigational techniques like maps and a compass to locate objects or places called geocaches or caches.

Geocaching games take place on all 7 continents and there are over 4 million people searching for geocaches.

After 10 years there are over 1.2 million geocaches published on web sites devoted to this activity.

The first documented placement of a GPS-located cache took place on May 3rd, 2000 in Beavercreek, Oregon.

GPS coordinates are the navigational numbers, taken from longitude and latitude on a map that are used to find a location on the surface of the Earth.

A typical physical geocache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value.

A virtual geocache is typically a location on a web page that is interesting, unique, strange, or special in some way to the geocacher. (In our case, Game #1 is all about Hickok Cole projects)
