Join the ranks of treasure hunters around the world! This program will offer a brief overview of each hobby\, suppli es you may need to get started\, rules for seeking hidden caches\, and oth er tips.
\nGeocaching \;& ndash\; Founded in 2000\, geocachers use the Geocaching®\; app and othe r GPS-enabled devices to hide and seek cleverly hidden containers called g eocaches. Geocaches range in size from a miniscule tube to a large box and vary wildly in difficulty to find\; some even have multiple steps or ridd les included. The community is composed of millions of players around the world\, with over 3 million active geocaches hidden across 190+ countries.
\nLetterboxing \;- Less popular than it's GPS-enabled sibling\, Letterboxing returns to an x-marks -the-spot style of seeking. \;Letterboxers carve their own stamps and hide them in small\, weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places\; st ep-by-step clues are posted online or passed by word-of-mouth for other Le tterboxers to follow. When you find a box\, you can mark their log book wi th your own stamp and mark your log book with the stamp they've included i n their box for a neat\, easy-to-carry collectible.
