Austin Geocaching
Geocaching is a pastime in which caches of items are hidden in non-obvious places and their location posted for others to find. The longitude and latitude are published, sometimes with additional hints. Hunters with GPS receivers then venture to the site and try to find the container. Sign the log book in the cache and exchange an item.
