Short version: Someone hides a lunchbox with a logbook in it in a forest and posts the GPS co-ordinates on the Internet. Then others get those co-ordinates and go looking. There are almost 800,000 worldwide now.
I've been doing it for two years now and love it. I've only found about 50, but then it isnt a huge sport in Ireland even though its taking off quite rapidly. I've been taken to some places where I wouldnt have been (or known about) otherwise - just today I was on a small island a few km from my house finding a lunchbox under a rock. The views of the bay were great and there was noone else about.
I've also gone up a col in France, found a cache near a fountain in the middle of nowhere in a valley, and found magnetic boxes stuck to bridges with hundreds of people walking by unawares.
I've placed five Geocaches now which together have been found about 200 times. Its interesting to read peoples logs of what they thought of it.
I've also sent various Travel Bugs and Geocoins travelling from cache to cache. Some of these have made it to Germany, another is near Prague.
fuckkkkkk it was kinda weird, i thought i was in an actual treasure hunt, and as i walked in the woods, i would find wild mushrooms and eat them thinking i would get more fucked up.
then that afternoon- kinda still tripping i went to my friends house and he asked me why my face was covered in dirt. I told him i had been eating mushrooms off the ground lol
