Geocaching Crackdown?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the leave-only-footprints dept.

thejuggler writes "Some cities and counties are banning or considering banning geocaching in their parks. "It's good, clean, wholesome fun - just do it someplace else," said Brian Adams, chief of resource protection for the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, which has banned geocaching. The geocaching.com website claims there are over 600 caches within 100 miles of the twincities."

    Not to be stupid, but what's geocaching?

    It sounds like a dumbed down version of Letterboxing I say dumbed down as the directions to letterboxes (normally a box with a stamp and visitors book) can range from the straightforward to the bizzarly cryptic rather than a lat and lon coords

    This makes it hardly new as letterboxing dates back to 1854.
