Hold Fast Books Geocaching:

Geocaching, which has wittingly been described as “using million dollar satellites to find Tupperware in the woods,” is a global, high-tech treasure hunt where individuals use Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to hide and seek containers called caches. Played in over 200 countries, with over 400,000 caches in place, geocaching involves players hiding objects – a log book and small trinkets, and then posting information about the cache (coordinates, terrain, difficulty, and hints) online to help players find it.
