Geocaching
Treasure Hunt
Address:
City: San Francisco
Summary: Bay Area & Beyond…
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.

As far as I can tell, the East Bay Regional Parks don’t permit it. All the way back to 2003 they were talking about developing a policy, and for several years it was listed as being in the planning stages, but apparently it never got done… and in the absence of a formal policy, they just forbid it, and confiscate caches.
