Geocaching 101:
Geocaching is an outdoor adventure game similar to a treasure hunt played with a GPS device. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, take a trinket from the cache, leave something of greater or equal value in return for the next person and then share your experiences online. But what type of log should I use? This page should help with that. There are over a million active geocaches around the world. Be sure to ask a park representative about the Georgia State Parks Geo Tour!
Disclaimer to New Geocachers:
Please take care to understand the basic rules of geocaching in order to help keep the game enjoyable for all who participate. Please do not move or vandalize the container. Replace the cache like or better than you found it (exactly where you found it), and, when you leave, and make sure the cache is completely covered. The real treasure is just finding the container and sharing your thoughts online with everyone who finds it.
Trackables:
Occasionally, you may find trackables (travel bugs and/or geocoins) inside geocaches. Some of these may have dogs tags attached to them, but all trackables will have a unique number stamped on them. If you take a trackable, please remember to log it on www.geocaching.com. The purpose of trackables are generally to move from cache to cache; some may have specific "missions", which you may find on the trackable's page when you log it. For more information on trackables, including how to correctly log them, please visit www.geocaching.com/track.
