Excellent description ElKyle. One can buy a $99 GPS from their local camp store and cache without a membership from Geocaching.com or spend $500 on a GPS, use a top-of-the-line Palm and associated software. The hobby is as placid or extreme as you want to make it.
Some people hunt out historical markers, others shoto for caches that require miles long hikes through dense brush or require a half-day canoe trip. It's all about personal preference.
