LANSING, Mich. â Do you like treasure hunts, outdoor adventures and discovering new things in your neighborhood? Well then, geocaching is for you.
The high-tech treasure hunt is one of the biggest treasure hunts in the world.
"The idea is to go find 'caches,' as they're called. They're hidden anywhere," said Tom Skelton, a member of the Michigan Geocaching Organization.
Caches are containers hidden in secret locations by geocachers. There are more than 3 million hidden worldwide. You use GPS coordinates to search for caches that are hidden and waiting for you to discover. And every geocache has a terrain rating and a difficulty rating to let you know what you're getting into.
