One person puts together a collection of things-toys, mementos, trinkets, and places them in a container, called the cache, takes a reading of its position with a GPS device, then posts the location numbers on a web site. Someone else looks up the location, finds the cache, takes one item from the collection, and replaces it with another.)
Geocaching WWW site, March 3, 2004 (Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.)
