FAQs

What is geocaching?

Geocaching is an activity where an item is hidden at a particular location for GPS users to find by means of coordinates. There are millions of geocaches hidden around the world!

I’ve found a geocache. Why is it full of random items?

Some geocaches don’t just have a log book. They include a container of “trade” items. If you take a item out of the box, please make sure you replace it!
