Geocaching - more words from Wiki! Mystery Cache
wademercer: Time for these to retire. Feel sad that a few cachers have littered the Dfw area with thousands of poorly rated caches... all to appease a few loopers... not sure how you can brag about a hundred or more loops when most are from falsely rated caches! Also frustrating that the dfw cachers aren’t discouraging this bad behavior. I feel the north Texas geocaching association should be spearheading a movement to encourage cachers to rate their caches appropriately. To have some pride in the cachers and caches they represent. Instead, they actively participate in their Denton overrated events, and enjoy another false loop. They should be discouraging inaccurate cache ratings. Txga leadership should be modeling the best geocaching behavior for others to follow. Step up.

GEOCACHING
Geocaching was originally similar to the 150-year-old game letterboxing, which uses clues and references to landmarks embedded in stories. Geocaching was conceived shortly after the removal of Selective Availability from the Global Positioning System on May 2, 2000, because the improved accuracy of the system allowed for a small container to be specifically placed and located. The first documented placement of a GPS-located cache took place on May 3, 2000, by Dave Ulmer of Beavercreek, Oregon. The location was posted on the Usenet newsgroup as 45°17.460′N 122°24.800′W. By May 6, 2000, it had been found twice and logged once (by Mike Teague of Vancouver, Washington). According to Dave Ulmer's message, this cache was a black plastic bucket that was partially buried and contained software, videos, books, food, money, and a slingshot. A geocache and plaque called the Original Stash Tribute Plaque now sit at the site.
The activity was originally referred to as GPS stash hunt or gpsstashing. This was changed shortly after the original hide when it was suggested in the gpsstash eGroup that "stash" could have negative connotations and the term geocaching was adopted.
Over time, a variety of different hide and seek type activities have been created or abandoned, so that "geocaching" now may refer to hiding and seeking containers, or locations or information without containers.
