This'll keep you busy after you've found that phone booth ringing in the

   Geocaching is a new 21st century recreation that came about as a result
of the improving accuracy of electronic Global Positioning System (GPS)
devices. With improved positional accuracy, on the order of three meters,
GPS's now allow unskilled users the ability to find geographic locations
with precision and repeatability. With this new ability, people can now
place geocaches in interesting places so that others can enjoy the challenge
of finding them. This is Recreational Geocaching.
