||
| − | [[File:Cache_page.jpg|thumb|200px|A typical cache page.]] |
||
| − | To find a geocache, you go to a geocache description page and enter the cache coordinates into your GPS. Then you must go to the coordinates and look for the cache (sometimes there are hints that may help). When you find a cache, you may write your geocaching name, the date, and any comments in the logbook (usually a book or a piece of paper inside the cache). |
