Geocaching is a game
of sorts wherein an item is placed at a specific destination and then the
coordinates are given to a different party for the purpose of them eventually
discovering that location. GPS’s come in handy here as the coordinates are fed
into the device and specific points of the mystery item are given out and made able
to track. As a device, the GPS is now widely available, expanded from its original use strictly by government personnel, the military and scientists. Now most cars
come with the device built-in, and remarkably, the system connected to more
than twenty four satellites orbiting the Earth is compacted and at ready
disposal of the majority. This picture was taken during a field trip taken to geocach as a
class, and although a bit hard to see, I am holding the green capsule from the
day.
