Geocaching mixes high tech, outdoors and adventure

Geocaching is an adventure game -- or addiction, as Carlsen will tell you -- that involves a handheld Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) unit, the Internet, a yearning for the great outdoors and a passion for hide-and-seek.
According to the official geocaching Web site, the game took off in May 2000 after GPS technology restrictions were eased and handheld units available to the public became more affordable and precise.

I was wondering when somebody was going to post about it. I have been registered at the site since 1996. It is a bunch of fun, and for people with kids it's a blast to watch them run around searching for the cache. Better than easter egg hunting or x-mas morning.
