What is Geocaching? (as defined by www.geocaching.com)
"Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps* users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache."
What is Little Geo(rge) Caching?
Little Geo(rge) Caching is a real life treasure hunt to get your picture with Little George. The cache will contain a Little George, a disposable camera, and a free button. The way it works is use your gps unit (or one you swiped from a friend) to find the location of the cache. Then take your picture with Little George using the disposable camera. Replace camera and Little George and take a collectible keepsake LG button with you! Also, feel free to use your own camera and email me a copy of the picture! Don't forget to sign the log and post your info in the Little Geo(rge) caching forum letting everyone know about your experience! When the camera is full, I will replace it with a new one and put the previous pictures on the site.
When the first LG cache is placed, we will post the coordinates here. We also encourage others to create Little Geo(rge) caches of their own and let me know about them!
* A GPS unit is a electronic device that can determine your approximate location (within around 6-20 feet) on the planet. Coordinates are normally given in Longitude and Latitude. You can use the unit to navigate from your current location to another location. Some units have their own maps, built-in electronic compasses, voice navigation, depending on the complexity of the device. But don't worry, you don't need to know all the technical mumbo jumbo about GPS units to play Little Geo(rge) caching.
