Geocaching

Geocaching is sort of like outdoor treasure hunting, and it’s getting really big in Anchorage. Host Charles Wohlforth gave it a try with his daughter. They had an iPhone app and a mission to look for hidden caches logged on a website powered by GPS equipment. The result? A fun, and somewhat addicting, new hobby. Join us on air to learn more about geocaching.

Outdoor Explorer guest Scott Sagraves holds up one of the smaller geocaches out there. It looks just like a hardware bolt, but when you unscrew the cap, there’s a piece of paper where other geocachers have signed. Photo by Charles Wohlforth.
