Alpha Geek: Geocaching 101 - Lifehacker
In the spirit of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie that's opening DVD that's coming out in a few weeks, I bring you the ultimate adventure for the modern pirate: Geocaching.
A kind of high-tech treasure hunt in which the journey itself is often the biggest reward, Geocaching substitutes a GPS receiver for the tattered old pirate map and a box of trinkets for the treasure chest.
It's a great way to enjoy the great outdoors, either alone or with a group, and you can do it just about anywhere. Let's take a look at what you need to get started.
The Game
The word Geocaching comes from two separate words: geo, for geology; and cache, a hidden store of goods or valuables. It's pronounced "geo-cashing." If you go around saying "geo-catching," people will laugh at you.
