Finding a Geocache
Geocaches come in many shapes and sizes- from rectangular boxes to tiny round containers to items that blend in with the environment. Some are obvious, and some are extremely well hidden.
When you finally find a geocache be sure to follow the 3 main rules!
1. If you take something, leave something of equal or greater value.
2. Sign the logbook and log your find the Geocaching app(Click the Geocache, and then "Log".)
3. Return the Geocache to the original location.
Inside a Geocache you may find:
A Logbook: Sign your name and when you were there, and see everyone else who's found it.
SWAG: Small prizes for finding the geocache. If you take a piece of swag, it's nice to also leave a piece of swag also.
Clues: Some geocaches have multiple pieces to find and will contain clues regarding the location of the next geocache.
Trackables: These are small items that have a code on them. More can be read about them here.
After signing the logbook and trading any SWAG return the logbook to the geocache, seal it, and put it back exactly where you found it.
