What is Geocaching?
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.
That is until the cops blow up your geocache with a .50 caliber sniper rifle because they think terrorists want to attack an ice cream stand.
I don't think the geocache community appreciated it.
Of course I feel better knowing that some back water moron with the budget to afford a .50 caliber sniper rifle but not get trained on it are walking around with badges and guns.

DATE:
I have been GeoCaching for over 2 years now and have never heard of anything like this, but I am not surprised. There are plenty of caches located in populated areas. The nice thing about Geocaching is that you get to see plenty of parks and monuments around the country. Most of the places you would have never found without this game. Heck, I have found most of my 212 in the Algonquin area. I have a friend with amost 2000! Best time to geocache is the winter because no one is around and no poison ivy!
