Geocache Description:


GeoBasics 6


You're Not Quite There Yet


Up until now, each cache you've done was accomplished by taking a given set of coordinates and following them straight to the cache container. This is by far the most common type of cache you'll see, but there are a few other ways to get you a Smiley - (The icon that indicates you found a cache).

This time around you'll be doing whats called a multi-cache. The listed coordinates will take you to a container just like you've already seen, but there will not be a log sheet inside. Instead, you will find another set of coordinates. You'll have to follow this new set to a second container which will be where you sign the log.


The most common types of permanent caches you'll see are:
Traditional Cache The coordinates provided will take you straight to the cache container.
Multi-Cache The coordinates will take you to a location that will provide you with another set of coordinates. This second spot may be your final destination, or it may repeat the process.
Unknown, Mystery or Puzzle Cache This one is a wild card. Sometimes it will require solving a puzzle to get the final set of coordinates, but it may also be something new and unique that the cache owner invented.
Letterbox Hybrid This is a cross over with a game that predates geocaching by over 100 years. With a letterbox, the player follows a set of clues and directions to get to the final container instead of simply following a set of coordinates. Each container will have a stamp in it. THE STAMP IS NOT A TRADE ITEM AND MUST BE LEFT IN THE CONTAINER. People that play letterboxing use the stamp to keep track of their finds much like the log sheet system of geocaching.
EarthCache There is no container for these. The player will follow the coordinates to the location of some interesting geological feature. In order to get credit for the find, the player must answer a series of question about the location in an email sent to the cache owner.
Wherigo Cache These require special equipment to play. They take a player on a unique adventure by following a series of instructions.

In addition to the permanent types, there are also a few social gathering types that require meeting up with other cachers at a designated time and place.:
Event Cache This is your basic social gathering. Geocaching will be talked about and stories will be swapped.
Cache In Trash Out This is a special type of event where cachers gather together in order to clean up a park. The cachers go in, and the trash goes out.
Mega-Event Cache This is like normal event, but it requires 500 people.

(There are a few of other types in addition to the ones listed here, but they have either been completely retired, locked from having new ones created, or are so rarely seen that for all intents and purposes they no longer exist. They are therefore outside of the scope of this series. For further descriptions of all of the cache types, you can check out this page here.)



The primary purpose of The GeoBasics Series is to introduce common concepts of Geocaching to new players leading to full game immersion as the players are guided through a selection of progressively more difficult caches.

The secondary purpose of this series is to satisfy the requirements for several standard Geocaching challenges.

The series is broken up into 4 subsections based on the skill level required to attempt the caches within each. The numerical order assigned to the caches is intended to allow a player to easily track their progression through each subsection before moving on to the next one. However, this is not a requirement since the series is not placed entirely in a geographically linear order. (For someone completely new to the game, following the numerical order for the duration of the introduction is advised.)
