Geocaching



It’s the side of Arcola you haven’t seen.  If you are adventure-seeker with a GPS, see if you can find the four geocaches hidden in Arcola and the outlying area.  Check www.geocaching.com for coordinates and clues.  

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (usually a tupperware or ammo box) containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value.

Geocaches are currently placed in over 100 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica.[1] There are over 820,000 active geocaches in the world right now.

Go to www.wikihow.com/Go-Geocaching for more information on how to get started.
