GEOCACHING
Geocaching is a new twist on the old scavenger hunt game using modern technology in the form of GPS (global positioning system). Families, friends or individuals set up a “cache” and share waypoints (coordinates). People can then use these waypoints to locate the geocache and share their experiences online. Most geocaches are small waterproof containers with a logbook, while few might contain trinkets. The Beaches of 59 contain several geocaches and welcomes all geocachers to explore the natural beauty that the area has to offer.
