Geocaching, if you are unfamiliar with the phrase, is the word used to describe the sport which utilizes billion dollars worth of military hardware to find tupperware boxes in the outdoors!
Like some kind of modern day treasure hunt, A ‘geocacher’ will hide an object (usually a small tupperware box) in an interesting location, then go online and post the grid reference on a website. Fellow geocachers will then download the GPS co-ordinates and locate the hidden object using their GPS receiver. They would then log their find in the included log book, and possibly take an item from the cache and replace with another of equal or higher value. Once home, they would log their find on the website.
