Geocaching
Geocaching is a recreational pursuit that brings together nature and technology. Geocaching is initiated by an individual hiding a cache, normally a waterproof container with trade items and a logbook inside. The location of the cache is recorded with a Global Positioning System (GPS). The individual posts the GPS coordinates along with a description of the cache on the Geocaching website. Other individuals then try to find the cache and when it is located, participants sign a logbook, trade an item, and record their find online. If you are interested to place a cache in the City of Isanti please Click here to learn more and find the site registration form.
