Geocahing is an outdoor activity where the participants are required to use a Global Positioning System (GPS) to reach a specific coordinate to find a "treasure." The treasures are generally small waterproof containers that are called "geocaches" and have a logbook hidden instead of them. The Geocacher must record that date and time they found the geocache inside the logbook.
Right now, there are over 1.3 million active geocaches found in over 100 countries. There are also currently 5 million Geocachers in the world.
While I have never been Geochaching outside of class in my life, I did grow up letterboxing. Letterboxing is similar to Geocaching. One of the main differences is that in letterboxing you use clues and references found in stories to find your prize, instead of a GPS device.
