Geocaching as a hobby - October 29th

Hey everyone! Geocaching may be a lesser known hobby to you all, but an interesting one nonetheless. If you haven't heard of geocaching before, you've come to the right place! 

The first Geocache was hidden on May 3rd of 2000 in Oregon, United States by Dave Ulmer, with instructions that finders "Take some stuff, leave some stuff." Little did he know, by doing so, he was creating a new worldwide hobby. Now, more than 20 years later, there are over 3 million active geocaches and over 6 million geocachers around the world.

So what is geocaching? 

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called geocaches or caches, at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world. 

Questions

Have you heard of geocaching before?

Have you ever been geocaching? Did you enjoy it?

If you made your own geocache where would you hide it? 

Please join us in the Hobby Zone room at 10am ET October 29th for a more in depth discussion on this subject. We hope you can make it!
