Geocaching 101 is a basic introduction that teaches you what geocaching is and how to find caches using the free Geocaching.com app on your phone. You’ll also get to see a wide variety of geocaching containers used in this fun outdoor adventure. There will be plenty to do and learn for more advanced cachers as well.
