Sorry, can someone explain to me in words of one syllable or less, WTF is geocaching?
You get GPS coordinates and go find a hole in a log out in the woods where somebody has left a couple of Star Trek commemorative plates. And then you leave something like a copy of Thomas Pynchon's Vineland. At least that's what happened the time I went out with a friend of mine to do it.
Like I said, nerds.
Is that what it has turned into? They used to just contain a small notebook and a pen. The people that found it signed it and left messages. The ones on trails frequently contained advice for other hikers/bikers, like where to find drinking water.
