Geocaching: High-tech treasure hunt — South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com
We are sitting in our car in a Plantation parking lot, pulled over by the police at 3 in the morning under suspicion of prowling.
But we are not prowling, or breaking any laws at all.
We are geocaching.
This is difficult to explain to the police officers, who, like most people, have never heard of geocaching.
“We use multibillion-dollar satellites to find Tupperware hidden in the woods,” we try to explain.
Geocaching is a game of high-tech treasure hunting, using GPS technology to locate hidden containers with latitude and longitude coordinates provided at websites such as geocaching.com . The containers, called caches, are water-tight, and each holds a log sheet, often stored in a zippered plastic bag, for users to sign.
Geocaching combines “geo,” for Earth, and “cache,” a term meaning both hidden provisions and data stored in a computer. There are 31 satellites orbiting the Earth, and at least three or four of them are being used by us global gamers.
Imagine a high-tech Easter egg hunt, all year-round. A hobby you can participate in day or night, in urban or rustic settings, for the young or old. It’s not a race, but a challenge and an adventure.
