Kauai Geocaching

What better place for geocaching than Kauai. 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 a hidden container (geocache) outdoors and then share your experiences online. To put it another way, goecaching uses multi-billion dollar satellites to find tupperware containers in the woods, and is enjoyed by people of all age groups, all over the world, with a sense of community, and support for the environment.

Normally you’ll find a tupperware container, ammo box, bucket filled with goodies, or smaller container too small to contain items except for a log book. The coordinates listed on the traditional cache page are the exact location for the cache. A multi-cache involves two or more locations, the final location being a physical container. Most multi-caches have a hint to find the second cache, and the second cache has hints to the third, and so on. Once you find the cache, the general rule of thumb is, “If you take an item, leave an item, and write in the logbook.” On the day this was posted, there were 914,940 active caches worldwide. In the last 7 days, there were 694,043 new logs written by 90,920 account holders.
