Geocaching

Our geocaching route!
Distance traveled: about 1,626 ft.

Geocaching is considered an outdoor sport, but it is kind of like hide and seek for grown ups.  Geocachers use a GPS to locate hidden containers called geocaches. The containers may have a symbol that the geocachers must reproduce, or a task they must complete and document.  For example, Macon's task is to take a picture with the Jesse Mercer statue here on campus.  

Geocaching is seen as "social walking" to many.  For researchers, this sport is supposedly a good way to have social interaction with other researchers.
