Geocaching
ATV & UTV / SxS Riding Experience
Geocaching Off-road with your
GPS
Hamilton, MT (4/26/2012) - How
is it possible to make ATV riding any more enjoyable?
Bumping on hard terrain, sloshing through mud, splashing
through a stream, climbing rocks or just plain racing
these machines defines fun. But what if there was
something that you can add to the ATV riding experience.
You keep doing what you’re doing only you
add a bit of an adventure to the ride.
Many ATV clubs are now exploring the phenomenon
of geocaching. Basically, geocaching is hunting
for a cache hidden on or just off a trail using
a GPS receiver and coordinates and possibly other
clues given to you by the group that hid the cache.
So you are enjoying the ATV ride, like you always
do, with an added activity of hunting for something.

Many
ATV Clubs are getting involved with geocaching
that gives the rider a new experience while
riding an ATV or UTV / SxS |
A website that provides all the answers on geocaching
with an explanation of the game, a description
of the few rules that govern the game, and a glossary
of terms used by geocaching enthusiasts is called
geocaching.com.
The location of geocache games and the coordinates
of where the cache is hidden and some hints are
also on the site. After experiencing a geocaching
event listed on geocaching.com, gamers are encouraged
to log on to the site and describe their experiences
hunting for the cache.

A geocache is a small storage box
that is hidden along an ATV or SxS riding
trail. A geocache can contain a log book
or trinket like Travel bugs or Geocoins |
Briefly, the cache is a small storage box that
holds a log book and possibly a trinket. Using
the coordinates supplied to you and a GPS receiver
you hunt for the box. It can be hidden in brush,
in a tree, behind a rock, under a log or under
or beside any object of nature. When you find
the cache, you open it and sign the log book inside
and include the date and time you found it. If
you want you can also write about your experiences
hunting for the cache.
