If you are a technology savant and an adventurous soul at the same time, geocaching could be one of the most rewarding activities to engage in. It is an increasingly popular pastime, sporting the unlikely combination of technology and adventure that contributed much to its appeal and patronage all over the world. Geocaching involves the use of a handheld GPS unit to guide you to a location where a "cache" or a hidden container is hidden. When you find the cache, you will then write an entry to the logbook found inside with the option of exchanging the items found inside with some of your own of equal or greater value. It is appealing, healthy and rewarding for individuals or groups keen on making a worthwhile pastime out of the available technology they have at their disposal.

Make sure to check the difficulty rating of your chosen cache listings. It is advisable go for the easy ones for your first hunt just to get a feel of how geocaching works.

Safety Precautions

Think about planning a group geocaching adventure rather that a solo one. If you ever plan to venture on your own, be sure to tell somebody about your route, destination and time of return.

Pay attention to the surroundings, note markers and make trails. Don't focus too much on your GPS unit and be conscious of where you are going and the environment to ensure your safety.

The Search

Getting within a mile of the cache location is a breeze if you did your research well enough. Keep your GPS unit on the entire time in zeroing in your target cache notwithstanding irregular off-signals because of overhanging structures and trees and mountains.

Concentrate more on the distance decreasing indicator on your GPS rather than the arrow when you're getting close at about within 300 ft.

When you get within 30-100 ft., start looking around for the hidden container. Look under piles of rocks or branches and other signs of human intervention. It maybe cleverly camouflaged so finding the cache could be very challenging.

Take notice of methods of hiding the cache for future reference
Make an entry on the logbook with your name date and details about your adventure.
If you intend to trade items, do so using items of equal or greater value.
Reseal the cache and place it back to its original hiding place.
Find your way back to your starting point using the waypoint.

Log on to your geocache website and post and even upload photos of your experiences to share with other members especially the cache owner.

Congratulations! You've made your first successful geocaching adventure!
