Geocaching is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking hidden containers called geocaches. When geocaching, players should follow guidelines to not endanger themselves or others, respect private property and the environment. There are different types of geocaches that provide varying levels of difficulty, including traditional caches, multi-caches, mystery caches, and letterbox hybrid caches. The geocaching community also participates in volunteer Cache In Trash Out events to clean up parks and outdoor spaces.

- 11. Letterboxing is similar to Geocaching, but you use a series of clues to find a container. Once you find the container (or letterbox), you use the carved stamp from the box, stamp your personal logbook and return that stamp to the letterbox. You then use your carved stamp and stamp the letterbox's logbook.LETTERBOXING
