It is like orienteering. A gps will get you close but in many cases you're working under acanopy of trees which renders your gps less acurate. Sometimes you're working with an accuracy of 30 feet plus the original placement of the cache had a limited accuracy on that gps. The size of the cache could be anything from a 35mm film canister to an ammo box. The kids love it, gets them outdoors. For those interested go to geocaching.com. There's undoubtedly tens of thousands of caches around the world just waiting.
