Geocaching video to discover this great tech-naturalistic game

Today, I post you a great video to explore this new great game named "Geocaching".
Made by Josh Leo  this video explain  what a Geocaching is: an entertaining adventure game for gps users.
"Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache." (from www.geocaching.com)
