Geocaching In Northeast Ohio

By Lou Yuhasz on November 30th, 2008

As GPS devices drop in price and go mainstream, the sport of Geocaching is also. Geocaching is a strange hybrid: An outdoor sport that uses basic skills, but relies on advanced technology. Participants hide small “Caches” in their favorite locations, write the GPS coordinates down, then post them online on a site such as Geocaching.com. Other participants then get the locations, and search for the hidden caches, just to experience new places and for bragging rites.
