Geocaching, the popular sport where participants use Geographic Positioning Systems to find hidden treasure troves of goodies using clues.  We first reported on geocaching in our November 2001 Remotely Wild newsletter, and since then the sport has gained in popularity and the number of geocache locations (currently they are hidden in 177 countries).  There are even ways to purchase discounted GPS equipment (see www.geocaching.com) and efforts to clean up the area with a Cache In Trash Out program.

An article entitled "GPS Users Can Take Part In High Tech Treasure Hunt" (June 2, 2003) in NY1 online explains even more:
