Geocaching Rules

This growing outdoor sport has a simple set of rules, making it easy for anyone to play. The challenging part is finding the cache. Some caches have even been planted on mountainsides and underwater!
Once Geocachers find a cache, they follow these basic rules:

1. Fill out the logbook
2. Take something out of the cache
3. Put something in the cache
4. Return the cache to the exact position and condition in which it was found

Caches typically consist of a waterproof container discreetly placed within the local terrain. The container will include a logbook and any number of more or less valuable items such as toys, books, money, jewelry, trinkets, etc. You never know what the founder or other visitors of the cache may have left for you to enjoy. Be sure to fill out the logbook with the date and time you visit the cache and leave something in return.

Geocache Updates

If you’ve found all 250,000 geocaches and need more of a challenge, then don’t worry, new geocaches are being added all of the time. With an Update Kit (sold separately), you can update your Geomate.jr with the latest U.S. geocache list.
