How do I go Geocaching?

Geocaching can be done by yourself or in a group. All you need is the location of what you are looking for and what you are going to use to find it. The first thing you need to do is register for a free account at Geocaching.com. take a look at the Hide and Seek page and enter some search criteria. If you don’t know where to start, just enter your home address to see what is near your home…you may be surprised. Geocaching is usually done using a GPS or smart phone. Don’t let that scare you off, it is possible to go caching without one. If you have a GPS you can enter the coordinates and go searching.

Use stealth! One of the fun things about geocaching is finding the cache undetected by those not playing the game, who insiders call “muggles.”

When you find the geocache, open it and retrieve the log book or sheet. Sign and date with your username you created at geocaching.com. Trade items if you choose. Take pictures if you wish (this is fun to look back on). When you get home, visit the web page for the cache and log your visit.
