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.
