Geocaching Makes Debut at Teva Mountain Games

Visit the DeLorme tent located in Gear Town on Saturday June 6th between 10am & 4pm to experience Geocaching; a high-tech GPS Treasure hunt presented by DeLorme. Search for caches throughout the Teva Mountain Games for a chance to win great prizes including a DeLorme GPS system.

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.

A couple reasons Geocaching is perfect at the Teva Mountain Games:
1. It's Fun - There are over 680,000 active geocaches around the world. From a quick morning trip to a whole vacation, geocaching is active outdoor fun for all ages.

2. A Great Way to Learn - Every geocaching expedition is a real-life lesson in geography, map reading and navigation, problem-solving and teamwork. Even experienced geocachers are constantly learning about new places and meeting new friends.

3. Easy Set Up - Besides your GPS, all you need to geocache is basic walking or hiking equipment. Just find some interesting caches on http://www.geocaching.com/, and you're on your way.

4. You Might Just Acquire a Lifelong Hobby - Geocaching stays interesting and fun over time - people are constantly starting new caches and leaving new and interesting "finds" in cache boxes. Become part of a vibrant community by sharing cache finds and photos online.
