Geocaching

Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is one of the fastest-growing outdoor activities. It is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache anywhere in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache’s existence and location online at www.geocaching.com. Anyone with a GPS receiver can then try to locate the geocache.

Geocaching is a great family activity to do in an Alabama State Park!

The rules are simple:

Set up a free account on www.geocaching.com

Choose a cache to find and enter the latitude and longitude coordinates into your GPS receiver

Find the cache

Sign the logbook and trade items if you want

Report your find online
