Geocaching, The Global Treasure Hunt

Imagine a worldwide treasure hunt where GPS is your map and hidden caches are your prizes. That’s geocaching — a modern adventure that fuses technology, curiosity, and the timeless thrill of discovery.
In this episode of Info On The Go, we trace geocaching’s journey from its roots in 19th-century letterboxing to its digital-era explosion following the dawn of GPS technology. You’ll hear how a single experiment near Portland, Oregon, in 2000 turned into a global movement connecting millions of adventurers.
We’ll explore how the geocaching community grew — from the first online logs and family outings to international events and creative cache types that range from underwater challenges to brain-teasing puzzles. Along the way, we’ll uncover its impact on outdoor recreation, education, and environmental stewardship.
From high-tech treasure hunters to curious beginners, geocaching offers something for everyone — adventure, learning, and connection. So grab your GPS or smartphone, step outside, and discover the treasures hiding in plain sight.
