Mass Geocaching

What is geocaching?

Geocaching is an outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (usually a tupperware or ammo box) containing a logbook. Larger containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching is most often described as a "game of high-tech hide and seek", sharing many aspects with orienteering, treasure-hunting, and waymarking.

About this group

Even though this group was established in 2009, it has been abandoned by two previous Organizers. I took over the group in February 2010 because I did not want to see the group disappear. The few events we've had have been successful. I am always looking for event hosts. If you are interested in leading an event, send me a message and I can add the event for you. We look forward to meeting you!
