Geocaching

Ok, so working on this scavenger hunt reminded me of something that a friend told me about a few years back...

Geochaching.

I'm not sure if any of you have heard about this, but it's basically an open scavenger hunt that is self perpetuating. Being a bit of a mix between a time capsule and a item search, it's quite interesting.

"Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS-enabled devices and then share their experiences online."
