Geocaching Research Paper

I see there is a new adventure sport emerging. It is called Geocaching.
Geocaching is a real world game that consists of people hiding caches, then others go to find it. Hide and seek for adults basically. There are some sites that offer prizes for finding caches. One asks that you trade a found cache for another one. It is becoming quite a trend.
