<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smullen, post: 210857, member: 5165&quot;]Its not really about the GeoCoin....</p><p><br /></p><p>From what I have experienced, it an Outdoor Hobby...&nbsp; Like Mountain Biking, Rock Collecting, Metal Detecting, Hiking, etc...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, someone goes out in the woods like in a state park somewhere (can really be anywhere though) finds what they think is a less than obvious hiding spot... </p><p><br /></p><p>Then they place several items in a container that would shield them from the enviorment...</p><p><br /></p><p>The Items, can be Stickers, GEOCoins, Gum, camping supplies, anything that might be usefull outdoors, but not really expensive.. Really there are not set rules on it, people can place whatever they want, I&#039;m just listing things I&#039;ve seen or heard of...</p><p><br /></p><p>Usally, there is a Notebook and a few Pens in there for people to sign saying they&#039;ve found it and to provide some feedback about the find/adventure...</p><p><br /></p><p>The person who places the inital Cache, then looks at their GPS, makes Notes of the waypoints/Cordinants and then posts them on a geo-Caching site and others look up the points, then use their GPS to try and find the stash...&nbsp; Take a little something somethng outta the stash and leave something...</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, Its just and outdoor hobby....</p><p><br /></p><p>There are several sites, where you can search for caches by Zipcode... </p><p><br /></p><p>If I put in my Zip, last time I checked (last summer) there are I think 6 cache sites, where I could drive less then 20-30 mintues, then walk about 20+ minutes into the woods and using a GPS, I should be able to locate the stash... Sometimes it takes quite a bit if looking around and under stuff...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to make some cheapy business cards and put the URL to here and see if I could get a few new coin collecters....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
