What is

Geocaching?

Geocaching is an outdoor scavenger hunt using GPS-enabled devices to locate hidden treasures in plain sight. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache hidden at that location. Geocaching is fun for everyone: families, retirees, sightseers, outdoor adventurers, tech-lovers, and explorers.

The first thing to do is visit www.geocaching.com or download the official Geocaching app and register for a free account to search for active caches near you. Once you have decided which cache you want to find first, download the cache’s coordinates to your GPS or mobile device and navigate to the hidden treasure.

You never know what you might find hiding in the woods in Belmont County!
